Los Angeles: The King of Pop’s father has plans for The Jackson Three — Michael Jackson’s young children. He wants to take them for a world tour despite family Michael Jackson members accusing him of trying to “exploit them like Jacko”.

The Sun quoted Jackson’s biographer Ian Halperin as saying: “Joe wants the children to go on a world tour in 2010. He has also already offered recording contracts to two of Michael’s kids.

“Now he is talking about getting them the world’s best backing band and taking them on tour as The Jackson Three.”
Joe, former Jackson Five manager, reportedly approached Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and seven-year old Prince Michael II (Blanket) to hit the stage next year.

The latest developments will add fuel to the custody battle for the children. The tabloid said Halperin’s source for the allegations is extremely close to the family and may soon speak out publicly — out of concern for the future of the youngsters.

He told The Sun: “One of the family members is livid. He is saying Joe seems intent to do this no matter what. “He wants to exploit the kids the same way he Jacko earlier claimed that Joe beat him as a child and the fear of his father made him “regurgitate”.

Joe, 79, has also stated that he and Jacko’s mum Katherine, should have joint custody of the three children. However, reports claimed Katherine and the star’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe have struck a secret deal to exclude Joe from having a hand in the children’s upbringing.
