A source tells E! News exclusively that Grammy Awards producers have been making a last-minute effort to incorporate in some capacity Michael Jackson's children—Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket—into Sunday night's tribute to the late pop star.
The Grammys tribute will feature a 3-D mini movie set to Jackson's "Earth Song" that was going to be a major part of the This is It tour.
"They've been working on everything from them singing to just making an appearance," says the Grammys insider.
When contacted for comment, a rep for the Grammy Awards show says she wasn't aware of the participation of the Jackson children. A family rep couldn't be reached for comment.
But a source close to the Jackson family confirms to E! News that, as of Tuesday night, the Jackson children "might" be there. The family source confirms that several members of the Jackson family, including father Joe, are scheduled to attend the Grammys.
"They might go, but Kate [Kathryn, their grandmother and Michael's mother] is very protective of having them in front of the cameras, so I doubt they will walk the carpet," says the source.
Performers officially confirmed to participate in the tribute include Usher, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Celine Dion and Smokey Robinson.
