Birthday message: Prince Michael Jackson paid tribute to his late father Michael Jackson on the eve of his 18th birthday in a letter posted to Twitter 

Prince Michael Jackson turns 18 years old on Saturday, and that was enough to put him a reflective place. The college-bound teen took time out to remember his late father Michael Jackson and other family members who had helped to shape his early years in a loving letter posted to Twitter on Friday.

‘Before I turn 18 tomorrow I really want to thank a few ppl (sic) and first is obviously my dad,’ Prince wrote in honour of the late King Of Pop, who died in June 2009 at his Holmby Hills, Los Angeles home.

Family matters: Prince lavished praise on his father Michael and also thanked his grandmother and guardian Katherine along with his cousin and co-guardian T.J.

Unique talent: Prince has said that his father (pictured in 2001) wanted him to do well in school and added that 'I cannot play (the piano) and definitely cannot sing'

'Inspiration': Prince wrote that Katherine, pictured with him in 2013, was 'a strong woman … who has been through so much'

'Made sacrifices': Michael Jackson's eldest son wrote of his cousin T.J. Jackson (pictured last year) that 'he’s been there when I needed him'
