London ( CNN ) -- Janet Jackson is opening up for the first time about a duet with her brother that she 's reviving two years after his death . Jackson took to the stage in London on Thursday and performed their 1995 song Scream as video of Michael Jackson played and his voice filled Royal Albert Hall . The reworked duet follows in the footsteps of jazz pianist and singer Nat King Cole and his daughter , Natalie Cole . In 1991 she turned her father 's famous 1961 recording `` Unforgettable '' into a father-daughter duet . Janet Jackson said she did the original duet at the request of her brother years ago . `` I was on the Rhythm Nation tour and Mike actually asked me to do a song with him and I told him no . I did n't want to do it . I felt I had n't come into my own and I had n't fully made a name for myself ... and I did n't want to ride anyone 's coattails , '' she said . `` And I remember being in the Janet Tour a few good years later and he asked me again if I would do a song with him . And I felt , at that point , I 'd carved my own little niche in this world of music and I felt okay , I can do this now and that 's how it came about . '' Jackson said that performing the song alongside her brother again is n't difficult . `` It feels great -- just listening to and hearing his voice , '' she said , adding that on stage she finds herself , `` remembering the experience of recording it . '' Jackson declined to comment to the press on the two-year mark of her brother 's death , instead taking to social media this week with a simple message on Twitter on the June 25 anniversary : `` I miss you , I love you . '' Jackson wraps up the European leg of her tour this week then heads to North America , Australia and Africa .
