Paris Jackson is reassuring fans after concern spread online over the appearance of her neck in a recent video. The singer addressed her fans’ worries by seeking professional help and getting her throat checked, which, fortunately, had favorable results.
Jackson, who followed in her father Michael Jackson’s footsteps and pursued a singing career, is promoting her music while also preparing for the release of her sophomore album, although an official release date has yet to be announced.
Paris Jackson was alarmed when a user commented on one of her Instagram posts, asking, “What’s wrong with Paris’s neck?” The comment received hundreds of likes, prompting the 28-year-old singer to have her neck checked.
In an Instagram Stories post on May 16, Paris wrote, “getting an ultrasound to check out my lymphs since y’all pointed out how weird my neck looked on my last post.” She admitted that she was “freaking out” over the comment and requested someone to come to her rehearsal studio to do an ultrasound.
Paris shared that she recently had blood work done, and the results came back normal. “My neck just does weird sh-t when I talk,” she added. However, she wanted to make sure she was in tip-top shape before her performance at the BottleRock Napa Valley music festival on May 23.
The Singer’s Vocal Cords Appear Healthy
On May 17, Paris posted another update, sharing that she was told her vocal cords had the “slightest amount of redness,” but it wasn’t cause for alarm. There were no calluses found, which was a good sign. Calluses on vocal cords, sometimes referred to as “singer’s nodes,” may develop when the voice is overused or misused.
“The reason my neck looks as weird as it does, is just because I exercised those muscles from singing for so long, and that just happens with singers,” Paris explained, adding that it was a bit more pronounced in her case since she’s skinny.
The singer also poked fun at herself, reposting an altered photo with abs superimposed on her throat.
Paris Jackson’s Singing Career
Paris began her professional singing career in 2018 as part of the duo, The Soundflowers, along with her then-partner, Gabriel Glenn. They released a self-titled EP in 2020. The duo disbanded after they ended their relationship, and Paris launched a solo career, signing with Republic Records.
In 2020, she released her debut single, “Let Down,” followed by her 11-track debut album, “Wilted.” Two years later, she released “The Lost EP” and collaborated with other artists, including The Struts, Steinza, Old Sea Brigade, and Gavin Leatherwood.
In March 2026, Paris released a new single, “Zombies in Love,” which will be followed by the release of her music project “Teenage Drama,” in collaboration with 4 Non Blondes’ Linda Perry, on May 22. Reports indicate the singer is gearing up for the release of her sophomore album, but no date has been announced as yet.
The Singer’s Thoughts About The ‘Michael’ Biopic
The “Michael” biopic, released in April, has been a massive commercial success, but Paris has distanced herself from the project. In 2025, the singer countered Colman Domingo, who portrayed her grandfather Joe in the movie. According to Domingo, Paris and her brother Prince were supportive of the movie.
Paris shared her thoughts about the film on Instagram Stories, saying she provided notes about the scripts and pointed out parts she deemed “dishonest” or scenes she wasn’t comfortable with. However, she claimed her concerns were not addressed, and she “moved on” with her life. “Not my monkeys, not my circus,” Paris said.
Later, she said the narrative was “being controlled” and the movie had many inaccuracies and “full-blown lies” that she wanted nothing to do with.
The Singer’s Win Against Her Father’s Estate
Paris had been embroiled in a legal battle with the executors of Michael’s estate. The singer claimed that the executors mismanaged his late father’s assets and gave themselves excessive compensation and unauthorized bonuses.
As The Blast previously reported, the judge sided with Paris and ordered the executors to return $625,000 in bonus payments back to Michael’s estate. The court also barred them from issuing bonus payments to attorneys without the consent of all of Michael’s beneficiaries, including his three children.
