At a star-studded premiere, Michael Jackson's children joined forces for a unique appearance honoring their father's legacy. On Wednesday night, the Prince Edward Theatre in the West End of the capital city hosted the 10-time Tony Award-winning production of MJ: The Musical.

It happens soon after Katherine's executors allegedly stated she "receives a seven-figure allowance for the year". According to documents submitted to the court in June of last year, Blanket had wanted to retain "confidentiality" on the legal case and his position. The records purportedly noted that Blanket "is a very private person and may have said nothing if he knew that his words or positions could become public," adding that "that would have denied the trial court the ability to hear and con
