Rumors of a Jackson 5 reunion show for 2008 have been sparked by a concert promoter.
Leonard Rowe promoted Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall tour the late ’70s/early ’80s. He has now met with the Jacksons to discuss the possibility of a reunion tour in 2008.
Rowe told Access Atlanta: “His brothers are ready. Janet is ready. But the motor of that car that makes the car run, isn’t just yet.”
Rowe added: “In April of this year, I flew out to Las Vegas and met with them all and he told me, ‘Let’s look at ’08.’ We wanted to go this year, but [Michael] said it would take a lot of preparation. He didn’t say no.”
The last Jackson 5 studio album was 1989’s 2300 Jackson Street.
Speculation about such a tour has been rife for years now, but this marks the first time a credible source has spoken about it. I’m all for a Jackson tour, although I doubt it’ll materialize – too many egos. A few one-off specials, perhaps?
Too much ego clashing for this to actually go down. Would love it to though.
YES!! Michael and the family are music royalty. I feel to start saving already.
I dont think they ever gonna do a tour again Michael says he dont want to and without Michael..
If they’re gonna tour then im outta words i would love it so much!
The Jackson family are so great all of them, especially Michael , you gotta love them =)
I AM A BIG TIME JANET JACKSON FAN, AND YES, IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT JANET WILL HAVE HER OWN TOUR, BUT WILL DO SOME PERFORMANCES WITH THE FAMILY IN DIFFERENT CITIES, AND MICHAEL WILL DO A COUPLE BECAUSE MICHAEL DOES NOT LIKE DOING LONG TOURS. LA REID IS MAKING JANET TOUR WITH HER NEW ALBUM. JANET DOES NOT LIKE TO TOUR EITHER AND THE ONES THAT ARE THE BEST AT TOURING DOES NOT LIKE TO DO IT. THIS IS GOING TO BE A WORLDWIDE SALE OUT AND I WILL BE RIGHT THERE I DON’T CARE HOW MUCH THOSE TICKETS COST. JANET AND MICHAEL WILL SHOW BEYONCE, AND JUSTINE AND THE REST OF THEM HOW A TOUR SUPPOSE KICK-OFF!!! THEY NEED TO SIT AND TAKE NOTES FROM THE BEST!!! JANET & MICHAEL, “THE GREATEST ENTERTAINERS AND PERFORMERS OF ALL TIMES”
