A week ago, he announced a performance with the Jacksons in Munich, but now his family is in mourning. According to Tito Jackson's sons, the 70-year-old died unexpectedly on Sunday. 

According to US reports, Michael Jackson's brother, who was part of the original Jackson Five, suffered a heart attack.

"We love you, Pops"
The musician's sons announced: "It is with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved father, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tito Jackson, is no longer with us. We are shocked, saddened and heartbroken. Our father was an incredible man who cared about everyone and their well-being." They ended their touching post by saying, "We love you Pops. Your boys,Taj, Taryll and TJ."

The touching message is embedded here:

Last performance in early September
Until his death, Tito Jackson was on stage with his brothers Jackie and Marlon as part of the Jacksons. In the summer of 2024, they performed in Scotland, California and England and most recently in Germany.

Last week, he and his brothers visited the memorial to the King of Pop, who died in 2009, in Munich for the first time. "We are deeply grateful for this special place that honors not only his memory, but also our shared legacy," he wrote emotionally on Instagram with a photo of the visit.

Further concerts were already planned for October 25 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and November 1 in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Jackson Five
Tito Jackson had already made music with his brothers Jacky and Jermaine in the 1960s. Together with Michael and Marlon, they eventually became The Jackson Five and signed a contract with the famous soul label Motown in 1969, initially under the wing of soul diva Diana Ross.

Their first single "I Want You Back" was an immediate success. With more than 100 million records sold, they became one of the most successful bands in pop history. In 1997, the group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
