Nearly three years since the passing of their brother and King of Pop Michael Jackson, four of the brothers-Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Jackie-launched their “Unity” tour on Wednesday June 20. The reunion has been bittersweet.
During a break while the brothers rehearsed on a Burbank, California soundstage, Jermaine candidly tells the Associated Press, “The brothers don’t know this, but I’ve broken down several times and cried during rehearsals…I’m so used to Michael being on the right and then Marlon, Jackie, on and on. It’s just something we never get used to.”
Today (June 25) marks the three-year anniversary of the Michael’s death, and also the second attempt from the brothers to make a comeback without their younger sibling. The first attempt was documented on the A&E reality series “The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty” that aired shortly after their loss. The brothers have wanted to reunite for years, but needed time to heal, Jermaine says. Marlon adds, ” For me, this cycle that comes around every year – this day, that day – that doesn’t affect me because it affects me every day…I still wake up sometimes and go, ‘Jeez. I can’t believe my brother’s not here.'”
The Jacksons Unity tour kicked off in Ontario, Canada at the Rama Casino, and will hit Detroit’s Fox Theatre, Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, and the world famous Apollo Theatre in Harlem, New York where the then Jackson 5 won amateur night in 1969.
After this, the brothers are hoping to release an album of new music, then hit the road again to promote with another tour.
The Jacksons, the iconic family band that produced some of music’s greatest hits in the 1970s and 80s, is making a comeback. After years apart, three remaining members are reuniting on stage to perform their classic songs.

Background Of The Group
The Jackson 5, later known as The Jacksons, were an American musical group consisting of five brothers from Gary, Indiana. Founded in 1964 by patriarch Joseph Jackson and led initially by oldest brother Jackie Jackson, the family band featured four younger siblings—Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael—whose music career would span decades. Throughout their career they released numerous hit singles and albums that topped charts around the world.
In 1983 the original lineup disbanded when Jermaine left to pursue a solo career with Motown Records. But after many successful years apart, the remaining members Tito, Marlon, and Jackie reunited on stage in 1984 for Victory Tour that was watched by thousands across North America. During this time period they also released two new studio albums which included three top 10 Billboard hits: “State Of Shock” featuring Mick Jagger; “Torture”; and “2300 Jackson Street”.
Following their tour’s success, the trio decided to reunite permanently in 1989 under the name The Jacksons. They performed various concerts throughout Europe and Japan before returning to their homeland where they continued playing shows until 1992. In total there have been seven reunion tours since then culminating in a final performance at London’s O2 Arena in 2009.
