Prince joined his siblings and other family members to pay tribute to Jackson via social media on his death anniversary. The 27-year-old shared a photo of the long-deceased icon performing with children during 1993’s Super Bowl XXVII halftime show.

Prince accompanied the photo with a short note that read, “Miss you pops. The world felt better with you in it.” He also added the hit song, “We Are The World” to the post, which is reminiscent of the talented artist’s collaboration with the likes of Cyndi Lauper and Lionel Richie. Prince was only 12 when he lost his father, leaving him to continue his teenage years without his guidance.
