Los Angeles: 'King Of Pop' Michael Jackson was set to share the stage with his eldest child, Prince, 12, during his upcoming sold-out O2 concerts at London.
The star wanted his children to see him perform and wanted to introduce them to the world through the concerts, Jackson's publicist Stuart Backerman told Us magazine.
"He was planning on doing a short duet with his son, Prince. He knew his kids would enjoy it. He wanted his kids to see him perform at least once to get the vibe of the Michael Jackson mania," said Backerman.
The 50-year-old 'King of Pop' died last week on Thursday after suffering a suspected cardiac arrest.
In a will dated 2002, he has named his mother Katherine the guardian of his three children - Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7 and "intentionally" omitted Debbie Rowe, the children's biological mother, from his will.

Jacko’s illuminating white gloves to go under the hammer
Michael Jackson’s illuminating white gloves, which he wore on The Jacksons'' 1984 Victory Tour will go under the hammer in October.
The sale will be conducted at Profiles In History auction.
"The consignor set the price at 60,000 dollars to 80,000 dollars before Michael Jackson''s death, so we''ll start there, but the price for this item could even approach 1 million dollars,” Contactmusic quoted Profiles In History spokesman Marc Kruskol as saying.
The glove, which is an important piece of Michael Jackson memorabilia, is ornamented with bugle beads and Austrian crystal rhinestones and fitted with 50 small lights powered by a single battery placed in the cuff of the glove.
The piece of cloth with the gems is a part of the King Of Pop’s classic attire ‘Suit Of Lights’.
The illuminating glove was specially designed by Ted Shell of Ted Shell Designs, which Jackson returned as a gift to him in 1986.
The memorabilia is accompanied with a signed letter of authenticity by Shell, as well as a signed letter by L.A. Marquee Special Lighting Effects boss Judie Mallen, who installed the lights in the glove for the tour.
Authorities have decided to display the glove at their booth at San Diego, California comic book convention ComicCon later this month for the icon’s fans to see.
A spokesman said, "We want fans to have the opportunity to view this iconic piece of entertainment history."
Another glove designed by Shell, which Jackson wore in the mid-1980s will be auctioned

Tribute to Michael Jackson at awards show
Stars have been celebrating the life of Michael Jackson in Los Angeles.
Jackson's father Joe joined celebrities at the annual Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards show, which was hastily changed to honour the singer.
It is the first big tribute to Jackson, who collapsed and died last week in the city at the age of 50.
His family insisted a second autopsy be carried out on his body because of what they said were "unanswered questions" over how he died.
Speaking on the red carpet, Joe Jackson said he had "a lot of concerns" over events surrounding his son's death.

The Los Angeles County Coroner's office has ruled out foul play but deferred giving a cause of death until the results of toxicology tests come back.
Unconfirmed reports suggest the singer had been taking a daily dose of Demerol, a painkiller also widely known as pethidine.
On Saturday police carried out what they said was an extensive interview with Jackson's personal doctor, Conrad Murray, who was with the singer when he died.
A spokeswoman for Dr Murray said he was not a suspect in the case. He had "helped identify the circumstances around the death of the pop icon and clarified some inconsistencies", she said.
