Michael Jackson's life was commemorated on his 15th death anniversary.

Prince, Michael's eldest son, remembered his father in an Instagram Story.

"Miss you pops. The world felt better with you in it," he captioned the photo of his father, smiling while performing with children during the 1993 Super Bowl XXVII halftime show.

Meanwhile, Jackie Jackson, the eldest of the Jackson siblings, shared an endearing photo on Instagram of them singing with each other.

"Hard to believe it's been 15 years without you We miss you everyday," Jackie said in his post.

On the other hand, Tito Jackson also posted a black and white photo of the late pop star with the hashtags, "15 years without Michael Jackson," "Gone too soon," "Always in our hearts," "Miss you much," "MJ4ever" and "No words."

Tito's son, TJ Jackson, had a lengthier caption than his father, cousin, and uncle.

"I miss you so much, Uncle Michael. Thank you for all you did for me. I will always feel like the luckiest nephew to have you as an eternal source of strength, guidance, and love. I love you forever," he captioned his Instagram post alongside an iconic photo of Michael.

Michael Jackson died in 2009 after suffering a cardiac arrest caused by a fatal combination of drugs.

Days before the 15th anniversary of the King of Pop's death, Michael's life and legacy continue to be questioned by his accusers.

In Touch Weekly reported that Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who accused Jackson of abuse, had claimed that Jackson had "sexually provocative" photos of children he claimed to have "sleepovers" in the past.

In the new legal documents obtained by the outlet, Robson and Safechuck's new legal counsel, John Carpenter, opposed the request made by the estate asking him to stop criticizing Jackson in the press.

In an interview mentioned by the outlet, Carpenter allegedly attacked the filmmakers of the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, Michael.

"[The estate's] sole existence to live and exist is to make money," Carpenter asserted. "And so the movie is just one piece in their efforts to rehabilitate and rewrite the history of Michael Jackson and what he did to James, Wade, and other children."

In the upcoming biopic, Michael will be played by one of his nephews, Jafaar Jackson, the son of Jermaine Jackson.
