Michael Jackson - and the one question she always wished she had asked the late King of Pop. The legendary disco singer shot to fame in the 1970s alongside her musical sisters in Sister Sledge - who are famed for classic disco hits like We Are Family, Lost in Music and He's the Greatest Dancer.

The globally successful disco group worked with tons of musical titans during their years of success - including Diana Ross, Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, and James Brown.Kathy's smash-hit band even performed for Pope Francis himself at Philadelphia's World Festival of Families in 2015.However, there was also a time when Kathy and her band of talented singing sisters toured with the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson.Kathy spoke exclusively to Daily Star ahead of her show at London's O2 Indigo on May 14 with her band - Sister Sledge featuring Kathy Sledge.During the chat, the soul songstress opened up about touring with Michael, what the pop sensation was like in person, and the one question she always wished she'd asked him.On what Michael was like during their days of touring together, Kathy said Michael had the "hugest heart in the world".She said: "I did work with Michael and it was huge.

I think he had the hugest heart in the world, and that was my closest I’ve ever been to what it would be like to work with Diana Ross, because of course, he was her prodigé."Diana Ross, she explained, had always been a childhood hero of hers as a young African American girl.Kathy said she could relate to Michael as, like him, she was the youngest sibling who sang lead vocals in a famous family band.Michael, of course, shot to fame with his older brothers in The Jackson 5 and Kathy with her older sisters in Sister Sledge.Kathy admitted.
