Tito Jackson, brother of Michael Jackson and co-founder of Jackson 5, dead at 70, sons say

Tito Jackson, brother of the late Michael Jackson and co-founder of the Jackson 5, has died. He was 70 years old.

His family made the stunning announcement Sunday.

“It’s with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved father, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tito Jackson is no longer with us,” Tito’s sons TJ, Taj and Taryll said in a statement on Instagram. “We are shocked, saddened and heartbroken.”

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

Tito, born Toriano Adaryll “Tito” 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.

During their time as the Jackson 5, the family produced several No. 1 hits in the 1970s including “ABC,” “I Want You Back,” and “I’ll Be There.” They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.

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’s unclear how The Jacksons will handle the upcoming shows.

“Some of you may know him as Tito Jackson from the legendary Jackson 5, some may know him as ‘Coach Tito’ or some know him as ‘Poppa T.’ Nevertheless, he will be missed tremendously. It will forever be ‘Tito Time’ for us. Please remember to do what our father always preached and that is ‘Love One Another.’ We love you Pops,” his sons wrote on their own music group’s Instagram page.

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.

Justin Bieber posts picture of himself crying, fans get concerned, and then wife Hailey responds

It has been well over ten years since Justin Bieber first came to prominence. The singer gained early success and, at the young age of 15, achieved worldwide recognition with the publication of his mega-hit song “Baby.”

With millions of followers, the singer is still incredibly popular at the age of thirty. Discover the image that worried fans by reading on.

Yesterday, Justin Bieber uploaded an image to Instagram that worried a lot of his fans. Two of Bieber’s crying photos were uploaded online. The pop artist was seen crying in the photos while looking straight into the front-facing camera on his phone.

The images were part of the singer’s Friday “photo dump.” It featured a number of pictures, none of which appeared to be connected to the others in any manner.

Random pictures were included with the photos of Bieber crying. While one of them showed a pair performing, another may have shown some marijuana, albeit it was too hazy to be certain.

Thus, the images of Bieber sobbing appear even more disorganized and haphazard. The poignant picture revealed a different aspect of the singer that not many people get to witness. It is remarkable for a male artist to be so transparent about their emotions on Instagram, posting photos of themselves crying.

The images worried followers of Justin Bieber. “I hope you are doing okay, i hate to see tears running down your face,” wrote one individual in a letter. “Idk what you’re going through man, but hang in there,” penned a worried fan. Find your true self and hold on—peace will come. You can do this!

Another fan said, “I love that you’re not afraid to show your vulnerability and emotions,” in response to the singer’s honesty. It’s always wonderful to keep in mind that there are still people behind every single celebrity. I adore you.

Hailey Bieber, Justin’s wife, took care to inform everyone that the photo may not have been as serious as others were portraying it to be. In a playful remark, she referred to him as “a pretty crier.” Her remark let supporters know that it wasn’t a significant issue for them to worry about.

Nonetheless, Bieber appears to be doing okay based on the several other updates he posted on his Facebook following this specific photo dump!
