Michael Jackson’s three children will be joining the host of stars participating in the re-recording of their father’s 1985 charity hit “We Are The World,” Entertainment Tonight said Wednesday.
Paris, 11, Prince, 12, and Blanket, 7, will narrate an introduction to the beloved track, which is being covered by the stars of today to raise money for earthquake survivor in Haiti. The Jackson 3 will read a poem by Maya Angelou, which was selected by their grandmother, Katherine Jackson.
A family insider says: “They wanted to put a special message on the song – a message that echoes everything their father wanted for the world.”
Janet Jackson has also agreed to sing her brother’s lines for the cover, which features more than 75 stars including Britney Spears, LL Cool J, Toni Braxton, Pink, Celine Dion, Natalie Cole, the Jonas Brothers, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Nicole Richie, and Jennifer Hudson.
