The shocking death of Tito Jackson has caused an outpouring of emotion from millions worldwide.
And now his brother and bandmate, Marlon Jackson, has broken his silence on the tragedy.
Full story below…
Speaking on the first show The Jacksons have given since Tito’s death, a tearful Marlon was watched on by Jackie Jackson when he said:
“September 15th. I lost another brother. The thing about it is that Tito had called me and we were on the phone laughing and joking, cracking jokes. An hour later, I got the phone call. I talked to the doctor, he told me ‘he didn’t make it.’
Tito would be standing right here, with us. But I know he is with us in spirit.”

Marlon’s words followed a public tribute from the family’s youngest sibling Janet Jackson.
It must be unbearably tough for them to continue to perform. I hope they have had time to grieve the loss of Tito.
Man, Blessings to yalls Family Marlon, I am so hurt another one. I remember when I was in Elementary School when me and my classmates got chosen to write letters to the Jackson Family, I wrote Michael, I told him I was his Number One FAN and I would Love him Forever, who da thought. He wrote me back with a picture (the old school pic) and told me ,”Thank You, I love you to LeShelle,” I just thought I’d share, I’m 64 know. Take care Family I Love you all. GOD BLESS, send me old pics if you can. LeShelle young 713 Miller Ave #4,Brighton, CO 80601🙏❤️🥰
