Janet speaks out: About her last day with Michael, his eccentric style, and how she hopes he's remembered

Janet Jackson's interview in the October issue of Harper's Bazaar is almost entirely devoted to her brother Michael and, while you won't find answers to the more mysterious questions surrounding the king of pop's life and death, the resulting article is still a sweet, and at times, fascinating read.

Speaking out for the time since her brother's passing, the 43-year-old singer says the last time she saw Michael was May 14, just a few days before her birthday: "We had so much fun that day. We kept calling each other after and saying how great it was." Janet also reveals some intimate details about the days following his death, including the decision to allow (Michael's daughter) Paris to speak at the memorial service."I was really proud," she says. "People said to me that Michael's daughter speaking really gave them a sense of how he was as a father, in her words. Paris is incredibly smart; they are all so smart. She's a sweet girl. The kids are doing well. They're with all their cousins; that family love will keep them going."
