Joe Jackson: I Wish Michael Could Enjoy All This

"The Insider" caught up to Joe Jackson on the red carpet of the BET Awards where he opened up about the loss of his son and the tributes that follow Michael Jackson's death.

"I'm glad it's happening, but they should have saluted him when he was living so he could have enjoyed or saw all this," Joe says as musicians arrive to the awards show to pay tribute to the music legend.

"[Michael] was the biggest star in show biz history," he continues.
