Michael Jackson's older brother filed papers in Los Angeles Superior Court in November, requesting to legally alter his surname to Jacksun for "artistic reasons".

A decision was postponed until this year and on Friday, a judge approved his petition, according to TMZ.com.

The 58-year-old was not present for the hearing as he is currently on tour in Europe with his brothers as The Jacksons.
