Tito Jackson made a poignant visit to a memorial honoring his brother, Michael Jackson, in Munich just days prior to his sudden passing at 70. The tribute took place at the Orlando di Lasso Statue, which holds significant meaning for the Jackson family, especially since Michael famously brought his HIStory world tour to the city in 1997. Tito shared a heartfelt Instagram post featuring himself alongside brothers Jackie and Marlon Jackson, expressing gratitude for the space that keeps Michael’s legacy alive.
In his post, Tito referred to the memorial as a “beautiful” site, emphasizing its importance not only in remembering Michael but also in celebrating their shared family heritage. This visit occurred ahead of what would become Tito’s final performance, with the family set to take the stage at Circus Krone shortly thereafter.
Sadly, Tito passed away just days later on a Sunday, and his sons—Taj, Taryll, and TJ—broke the news on their band’s Instagram account, sharing their overwhelming grief. They recalled Tito as an incredible father who always cared for others, urging fans to remember his words to “Love One Another,” a nod to his solo track released in 2021.
While the official cause of Tito’s death remains undisclosed, close family friends and his former manager reported that he suffered a heart attack while on the road. Tito Jackson, born Toriano Adaryll Jackson, rose to fame as a founding member of the iconic Jackson 5, along with siblings Michael, Jackie, Jermaine, and Marlon. The group, known for hits like “ABC,” “I Want You Back,” and “I’ll Be There,” was honored with a spot in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.
Following Michael’s death in 2009, Tito, along with Jackie and Marlon, continued to perform together as the Jacksons. However, the future of their upcoming tour following Tito’s unexpected passing remains uncertain as the family mourns the loss of a beloved figure.
