Michael Jackson’s rarely seen son Blanket, 19, skips the red carpet at premiere with siblings Prince, 23 and Paris, 24
MICHAEL Jackson’s son Blanket made a rare public appearance last night as he attended the premiere of MJ: The Musical.
The 19-year-old skipped the rep carpet, while his siblings Prince, 23, and Paris, 24, proudly posed up together at the Neil Simon Theatre in New York.
Blanket, who goes by the name Bigi, was later spotted leaving the venue alongside Paris, looking dapper in a suit with crisp white shirt.
Michael had children Prince and Paris with his ex wife Debbie Rowe, 63.
The identity of Blanket’s mother is unknown, as he was born via surrogate.
In November 2002, when Blanket was nine months old, his father dangled him over the balcony of his Berlin hotel - four stories above ground level - causing a media storm.
Michael later said doing this was a "terrible mistake" and a bodyguard revealed he locked himself in his room for a day in shame after the pics were taken.

The singer passed away in 2009 at the age of 50 following a combined drug intoxication.
Their appearance comes just days after shortly after their aunt Janet, 55, made shocking claims about Michael in her new tell-all documentary.
During her new Lifetime doc, Janet discussed the "scrutiny" that she faced as the younger sister of an icon.
She claimed: "There were times when Mike used to tease me and call me names. Pig, horse, s**t, or hog, cow.
“He would laugh about it, and I’d laugh too, but then there was somewhere down inside that it would hurt.
“When you have somebody say you’re too heavy, it affects you.”
She later admitted being part of a famous family welcomed "a great deal of scrutiny" into her life.
Janet found herself wrapped up in her brother's endless court battles and media frenzies, despite leading completely "separate lives."

The star admitted: “It was frustrating for me. We have our own separate lives and even though he’s my brother, that has nothing to do with me.
“But I wanted to be there for him, to support him as much as I possibly could.”
Michael faced a series of child sexual abuse allegations beginning as early as 1993.
His actions had an impact on Janet's career, as Coca-Cola decided to back out from a partnership she had secured at the time of Michael's scandal.
