Micheal Jackson’s Brother Is Dead
Micheal Jackson’s older brother, Tito Jackson, is dead. Tito, who was originally a member of Jackson 5 , died on Sunday. He was 70.
It is suspected that his death resulted from a heart attack on his way driving from New Mexico to Oklahoma, Jackson’s former family manager, Steve Mannings, told Entertainment Tonight.
The sons of the deceased, Taj, Taryll and TJ, also known as the pop group 3T, made public the news of their father’s death via their Instagram pages.

His cousin, Siggy, also confirmed his death.
Complimenting pictures about their father’s life posted on their Instagram, the trio wrote, “It’s with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved father, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tito Jackson, is no longer with us”. Furthermore, they wrote, “We are shocked, saddened and heartbroken. Our father was an incredible man who cared about everyone and their well-being.”
In pouring out their heart, 3T wrote, “Some of you may know him as Tito Jackson from the legendary Jackson 5, some may know him as ‘Coach Tito’ or some know him as ‘Poppa T.’ Nevertheless, he will be missed tremendously. It will forever be ‘Tito Time’ for us. Please remember to do what our father always preached: ‘ Love One Another.’ We love you, Pops,”
