Paris wants to record song for father

Michael Jackson’s daughter wants to record a song for her beloved dad.

Paris Jackson – who made an emotional tribute to the pop legend at his memorial service on Tuesday - is keen to sing on a track after being inspired by the artists who performed at the star-studded service at Los Angeles’ Staples Center.

A source said: “Paris was overwhelmed. She never comprehended the scope of his fame.”

The 11-year-old girl – who went on stage with her family, including brothers Prince Michael and Prince Michael II, where she described Michael as the best father in the world – has discussed her plans with her musical aunts, uncles and grandparents but they are keen to protect her privacy.

The source added: “The Jacksons are very reluctant. But she’s convinced it’s a good idea.”

When Michael was alive, he was keen to keep the children out of the spotlight and on the rare occasions they did venture out, he made them wear face masks.
