REUTERSThe King of Pop's progeny will be represented at the Grammy Awards.
A source close to the Jackson family tells E! News exclusively that, as of late Friday evening, Michael Jackson's three children will not only attend the Grammys on Sunday, but will take the stage during the planned tribute to the pop icon to "read some sort of speech" about him.
As we reported earlier, several other members of the Jackson family are already planning to be in the audience at Los Angeles' Staples Center.
Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood and Usher are among those who will be participating in the Jackson tribute.
Janet Jackson presided over a muscial tribute to her older brother, who died last June, at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
