LOS ANGELES — Tito Jackson, one of the brothers who made up the beloved
pop group the Jackson 5, has died at age 70.

Tito was the third of nine Jackson children, which include global
superstars Michael and sister Janet, part of a music-making family whose
songs are still beloved today.

“It’s with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved father, Rock &
Roll Hall of Famer Tito Jackson is no longer with us. We are shocked,
saddened and heartbroken. Our father was an incredible man who cared about
everyone and their well-being,” his sons TJ, Taj and Taryll said in a
statement posted on Instagram late Sunday.

The Jackson 5 included brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and
Michael. The family group, which was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of
Fame in 1997, produced several No. 1 hits in the 1970s including "ABC," “I
Want You Back” and “I’ll Be There.”

The Jackson 5 became one of the biggest names in music under the guidance
of their father, Joe Jackson, a steelworker and guitar player who
supported his wife and nine children in Gary, Indiana. As the family’s
music careers took off, they relocated to California.

Born on Oct. 15, 1953, Toriano Adaryll “Tito” Jackson was the least-heard
member of the group as a background singer who played guitar. His brothers
launched solo careers, including Michael, who became one of the world's
biggest performers known as The King of Pop.

Michael Jackson died at age 50 on June 25, 2009.

Speaking to The Associated Press in December 2009, Jackson said his
younger brother's death pulled the family closer together.

“I would say definitely it brought us a step closer to each other. To
recognize that the love we have for each other when one of us is not here,
what a great loss,” he said, adding he would personally never “be at peace
with it.”

“There’s still moments when I just can’t believe it. So I think that’s
never going to go away,” he said.

In 2014, Jackson said he and his brothers still felt Michael Jackson's
absence in their shows, which continued with international tours.

“I don’t think we will ever get used to performing without him. He’s
dearly missed," he said, noting that Michael's spirit "is with us when we
are performing. It gives us a lot of positive energy and puts a lot of
smiles on our faces."

Days before his death, Jackson posted a message on his Facebook page from
Germany on Sept. 11, where he visited a memorial to Michael Jackson with
his brothers.

“Before our show in Munich, my brothers Jackie, Marlon, and I, visited the
beautiful memorial dedicated to our beloved brother, Michael Jackson.
We’re deeply grateful for this special place that honors not only his
memory but also our shared legacy. Thank you for keeping his spirit
alive," he wrote.

Tito Jackson was the last of the nine Jackson siblings to release a solo
project with his 2016 debut, “Tito Time.” He released a song in 2017, “One
Way Street,” and told the AP in 2019 that he was working on a sophomore
album.

Jackson said he purposely held back from pursuing a solo career because he
wanted to focus on raising his three sons, TJ, Taj and Taryll, who formed
their own music group, 3T. Jackson's website offers a link to a single
featuring 3T and Stevie Wonder titled, “Love One Another.”

Tito Jackson also is survived by his brothers Jermaine, Randy, Marlon and
Jackie, his sisters Janet, Rebbie and La Toya and their mother, Katherine.
Their father died in 2018.

Jackson's death was first reported by Entertainment Tonight.
