The music world is in total grief following the great and unfortunate demise of Tito Jackson, the original member of The Jackson 5 and brother to the legend Michael Jackson. There were nine siblings altogether, including Janet and LaToya Jackson. Tito had died at age 70, a sad announcement that his sons Taj, Taryll, and TJ Jackson confirmed. Trio 3T shared on their grieving via Instagram to post words of how saddened and heartbroken they are because of the loss of their father.
Tito’s legacy was cemented into the history books as he was one of the most important members of The Jackson 5 alongside brothers Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael. With their never-to-be-forgotten hits like ABC, I Want You Back, and I’ll Be There, the band earned them a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. Indeed, an era has ended with Tito’s death, but his sons vowed to keep his spirit alive and keep reminding the world that it would always be “Tito Time.”
