At the age of 70, Tito Jackson, the founding member of Jackson 5 and brother of the late Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, passed away. Tito’s untimely death was first reported by ET,
which quoted family friend and longtime Jackson family manager Steve Manning as claiming that Tito most likely had a heart attack while traveling from Oklahoma to New Mexico.
Tito recently went to Munich, Germany, for a concert with the rest of the band. At the time, Tito honored his late brother who died in 2009 by sharing a picture of a monument for Michael in Munich.
“My brothers Jackie, Marlon, and I visited the beautiful memorial dedicated to our beloved Michael Jackson before our show in Munich,” Tito wrote as the photo’s description.
“We are really appreciative of this unique location that celebrates both our common heritage and his memories. I appreciate you preserving his soul.
