The late Michael Jackson's youngest son, Bigi Jackson (formerly known as Blanket), stepped out in a rare public appearance on what would have been his father's 65th birthday. The 21-year-old and his older brother, 26-year-old Prince Jackson, attended the 10th anniversary of Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson ONE show at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
According to People, the brothers greeted fans inside of the casino, and one person gave them a picture of Michael with an angel on it as they shared their favorite memories of him.
Bigi, who rarely makes public appearances, showed up in a black button-up with pants and shoes to match. He had his hair down, parted down the middle, and a beard and mustache.
While Prince was more animated and outgoing in his interactions with fans, Bigi tended to to smile and keep to himself. He also posed for some photos and signed autographs.

Bigi is infamously known for when his father dangled him over a hotel balcony when he was just a few months old. This took place in 2002 while Michael was staying at a hotel in Berlin.
In the 2003 documentary, Living with Michael Jackson, Michael said he used a surrogate to conceive Blanket. The surrogate's name has never been made public. Michael Jackson died in 2009.
Michael had Prince and his 25-year-old daughter, Paris Jackson, with his ex-wife Debbie Rowe. The two were married from 1996 to 2000.
Members of Michael's family and their representatives were present at the anniversary showing to host a public Q&A session. After that, they were scheduled to enjoy a special performance from the cast of the Vegas show.
A meet and greet with the original Michael Jackson ONE creative team and representatives from Michael's estate was also scheduled. Those who bought tickets for the event also received cupcakes before the show.
Blanket previously appeared on Good Morning Britain in 2021 for an interview. He spoke out about his father's legacy and his desire to educate others about climate change.
