Tito Jackson, brother of the late\u00a0Michael Jackson<\/a> and co-founder of the Jackson 5, has died. He was 70 years old.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

His family made the stunning announcement Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved father, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tito Jackson is no longer with us,\u201d Tito\u2019s sons TJ, Taj and Taryll said in a\u00a0statement<\/a> on Instagram. \u201cWe are shocked, saddened and heartbroken.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

While an official cause of death has yet to be determined, Steve Manning, former Jackson family manager, told\u00a0Entertainment Tonight<\/a>, he believed the pop icon died of a heart attack while driving from New Mexico to Oklahoma on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Tito, born Toriano Adaryll \u201cTito\u201d Jackson in October 1953 and the third of 10 children, was the least-heard member of the Jackson 5 as he was a backup singer and played guitar for the group, while his brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael were more prominently featured.<\/p>\n

During their time as the Jackson 5, the family produced several No. 1 hits in the 1970s including \u201cABC,\u201d \u201cI Want You Back,\u201d and \u201cI\u2019ll Be There.\u201d They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.<\/p>\n

Tito was last seen in Munich, Germany, on September 9, prior to a scheduled performance with his brothers Jackie and Marlon Jackson. The trio have two more performances left on their 2024 tour, however it\u2019s unclear how The Jacksons will handle the upcoming shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of you may know him as Tito Jackson from the legendary Jackson 5, some may know him as \u2018Coach Tito\u2019 or some know him as \u2018Poppa T.\u2019 Nevertheless, he will be missed tremendously. It will forever be \u2018Tito Time\u2019 for us. Please remember to do what our father always preached and that is \u2018Love One Another.\u2019 We love you Pops,\u201d his sons wrote on their own music group\u2019s Instagram page.<\/p>\n

It is devastating to hear the news about Tito Jackson. May he rest in peace, and may his family find comfort in knowing that so many people are thinking of them during this extremely difficult time.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
