A former publicist for Michael Jackson has confirmed reports that he was planning a duet with his eldest son during his London comeback concerts.

The 'Thriller' star, who passed away last week, had been scheduled to begin a 50-date stint at the capital's O2 arena on July 13.

Speaking to Us Weekly, Stuart Backerman said: "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."

Jackson had three children, Prince Michael, 12, Paris Katherine, 11, and 7-year-old Blanket. Yesterday, the mother of his two eldest kids confirmed that she will seek custody of them in court.
