Michael Jackson was reportedly planning to start a university course in fine art after his daughter begged him to follow his dream.

The 50-year-old King of Pop passed away in June after suffering a heart attack and it has been claimed his 11-year-old daughter Paris wanted him to head back to the classroom to become an art historian.

A source was quoted as saying: “It was all because of Paris that Michael decided to follow his dream.

“She gave him the confidence to finally contact the colleges that are attached to the famous auction houses.”

Jacko was reportedly keen to start the course called Certificate in Modern Art, Connoisseurship and the History of the Art Market.
