Tito Jackson is currently promoting his new album “Under your spell” and has been doing multiple interviews.
Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef podcast, Tito said that Michael was planning to tour with his brothers after THIS IS IT in London.
“What happened was Michael was scheduled to do the O2 Arena over in the UK in London, And we were planning on adding on to his show at the end of that tour run and continuing from there. So that was the plans, but we never came to fruition and we all know why, So, you know, so we decided that we’re continuing to perform and do what we do. The world still loves the Jacksons. And Michael would want us to continue as well. So that’s where we are with that.”
Tito also spoke about his grief and pain regarding Michael’s passing.
“It’s harder,” he said. “It’s harder because mourning is something that’s very much needed. And, and it’s hard to get over, especially when it’s a sibling or family member of mom, dad, uncle, or whatever. And the thing with the mourning for me, and I’m pretty sure it’s the same for other family members, if we wasn’t a family of fame and we wouldn’t be reminded. I’m reminded constantly that my brother passed away. You know, you can be at the market or gas station or wherever, and people will come over to me and say, ‘I’m sorry, you know, about your brother passing’ or whatever. So, you can’t forget it. Although you don’t want to ‘forget forget’ it. But it’s people bringing that sadness or that moment of time to you when you’re not expecting it.”
He finally said the Jacksons are planning to have Janet Jackson on tour with them but this have been talked about for years.
“That’s been talked about for so many years [and] that’s very possible, Hopefully, that can happen. You know, we can have the entire family on stage, you know, separately, at once, however, we plan to do it. But that would be a great package.”

I can’t imagine Michael touring with his brothers again, sorry Tito. I don’t doubt the brothers wanted it, and I’m sure Katherine would have loved it, but I can’t imagine Michael sharing control of a show or being willing to compromise on decisions relating to a show ever again after what he wrote about the aspects of the Victory Tour he was unhappy with in “Moonwalk”. I can’t imagine Janet doing it either. Both these siblings had bigger careers as solo acts, when they got to call all the shots. A one off like Michael’s 30th anniversary occasion I can visualise, but a tour, no, not really.
