Paris, the 27-year-old daughter of the legendary Michael Jackson, addressed people who are “mad again” about her performing on the anniversary of her dad’s death, which falls on June 25.
“So people are mad again. This time, I think, I guess one of the tour dates I’m supposed to be going out on tour with Incubus and Manchester Orchestra happens to be June 25, which is a very negative anniversary for me in my life and my family,” Paris said on Instagram Stories on June 13.
“So, what I guess I have to explain to these people is that when … you ‘re not headlining these shows, you don’t pick what date you perform,” she continued in the video post.

Paris said that she pitched herself to be a part of the tour and won’t be pulling out. “So, I’m gonna tell ’em, ’Sorry, guys, we can’t perform on this date?’ ” she said sarcastically, adding, “F— you.”
