His brother Tito Jackson, a member of The Jackson 5, shared a throwback picture of Michael in his younger days holding what looked like a light saber with a cute smile on his face. “Happy birthday, Mike! 🎉🧁🎈🙏🏾🤍 #MJ4EVER #happybirthday,” he wrote in the caption.
The “Billie Jean” singer’s nephew, TJ Jackson, whose father is Tito, shared a sweet photo of his late uncle in a bright orange shirt, enjoying the outdoors and holding a baseball cap. He began his tribute, writing, “There will never be another you. Thank you, Uncle Michael, for being there. I still don’t know how you did it.”

“Happy birthday to the King of Pop. You were unfairly ridiculed, bullied, and betrayed most of your life. Yet you still gave yourself and your light to a world that didn’t fully appreciate or deserve it. You are an inspiration to all of us.
We miss you, and thank you for just being you. Applehead,” he captioned the post.
