Michael Jackson’s brother Tito Jackson has died aged 70

Tito Jackson has died at the age of 70. The star was the third of nine Jackson children. His death has been announced by his sons.

The group, which rose to stardom in the late sixties originally consisted of Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael. Tito played guitar, sang and danced in the Jackson 5 and the siblings shot to face with their four number one hits, I Want You Back, ABC, The Love You Save and I’ll Be There, in the late sixties and early seventies.
