ate father and music icon. Jackson, 25, took to Instagram to explain that Michael never liked celebrating his birthday and that by not posting anything, she was actually honoring her father. “There have been times when I don’t post anything for my dad’s birthday.

And people lose their f–king mind,” stated Jackson in the video. “They told me to kill myself and they’re basically measuring my love from my own father based off of what I post on Instagram.”The “Eyelids” singer then claimed that her father — who died at 50 in June 2009 due to cardiac arrest caused by an accidental overdose — hated when people would acknowledge his birthday and would refuse to tell his children his actual birthday because “he didn’t want us to, like, throw a party or anything like that.” The video then cuts to Jackson performing at the Amphitheater at Las Colonias Park in Grand Junction, Colorado earlier in the day. “It’s also my dad’s birthday,” said the musician to an applauding crowd.“He would have been 65 years old today.

And he put 50 years of blood, sweat, tears, love and passion into doing what he did so that I could stand up here on stage in front of you and scream into a microphone.

I owe everything to him.” The video then cuts back to Jackson who implores her father’s fans to honor his memory by raising awareness on certain global issues. “There’s always ways to get involved with raising awareness for climate change, doing so for the environment, animal rights, activism, these were things that he loved and he was very, very interested in” continued Jackson. “And I can’t speak for him because you know, I’m a different person and I don’t know, but I’m sure he would have loved that and so if you want to, you know, pay homage and honor.
