It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the loss of Tito Jackson, one of the iconic Jackson 5 siblings, who passed away at the age of 70. The news of his death was shared by his sons TJ, Taj, and Taryll on Instagram, expressing their shock and sadness at the sudden loss.
The Jackson 5, comprising of brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and the legendary Michael Jackson, rose to fame in the 1970s with hits like “ABC,” “I Want You Back,” and “I’ll Be There.” Their father, Joe Jackson, played a pivotal role in shaping their music careers, guiding them to international success.
Tito, born Toriano Adaryll Jackson, was known for his guitar skills and background vocals within the group. Following Michael’s tragic passing in 2009, Tito spoke about how the loss brought the family closer and how they continued to feel his absence in their performances.
Despite being the last of the Jackson siblings to release a solo project with his debut album “Tito Time” in 2016, Tito focused on raising his three sons, who formed the music group 3T. His dedication to family was evident, and he cherished the memories of his brother Michael, visiting his memorial with his brothers in Germany.
As we remember Tito Jackson’s legacy, let us celebrate his contributions to music and the bond he shared with his family. His spirit lives on through his music and the love he shared with his loved ones.
