STORYLINE
JACKSON BROTHER COMMENTS ON POSSIBLE 4TH JACKSON CHILD
Michael Jackson was posthumously honoured in Austria on Friday the 24th, a month after his death devastated fans across the world.
His brother, Jermaine Jackson accepted the "2009 Save the World Award" for the King of Pop's efforts to reach out to the less fortunate and give a voice to the vulnerable.
After the awards show Jermaine Jackson commented on claims his brother Michael may have fathered another child.
" I do know that I have seen pictures with him and Michael and we are going to love him and treat him as if he was our own, we have to, he needs love he needs to be cared for. "
British tabloid The Sun alleges the late singer told friends in 2004 that Norwegian Omer Bhatti, 25 was born following a one-night stand.
Speculation about this fourth child was raised when Omer Bhatti sat on the front row at the singer's memorial in LA.
The gala in Austria, which took place despite driving rain, featured live performances of a slew of Jackson songs, such as "Man in the Mirror," and "Heal the World."
It ended with an emotional rendition of "We Are The World."
At a news conference in the Austrian capital earlier Friday, Jermaine Jackson called his brother a "wonderful humanitarian" who considered it important to help others.
