Tito Jackson, Legendary Jackson 5 Guitarist, Dies at 70


Tito Jackson, one of the founding members of the legendary Jackson 5, has passed away at the age of 70.

According to initial reports from Entertainment Tonight, Steve Manning, a longtime Jackson family friend, revealed that Tito is believed to have suffered a heart attack while driving from New Mexico to Oklahoma. Tito’s rhythm guitar work and the harmonies of his brothers helped the group achieve meteoric success, culminating in their signing to Motown Records in 1968. Michael’s sudden death in 2009 from acute propofol intoxication shocked the world, and his legacy as the King of Pop remains an indelible part of music history.
