Better keep a box of Kleenex handy tonight!

Sources have confirmed that Michael Jackson‘s children will be a part of Sunday night’s much-hyped tribute to MJ at the Grammys.

Producers say Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket will be reading a statement during the tribute, which will include performances from Usher and Carrie Underwood, as well as the 3-D “mini-movie” of Earth Song produced for This Is It.

With the way Paris so boldly spoke up during her father’s memorial service this summer, we think the kids may have been the ones who pushed for being included in the tribute.

No doubt it’ll be incredibly heartwarming to hear her speak again.
