The Jackson Brothers Start Their ‘Unity’ Tour

Marlon Jackson Jackie Jackson Tito Jackson Jermaine JacksonThe afros are a little shorter but The Jackson brothers are back on tour.

It’s been almost 3 years since their brother Michael died but four of Mike’s brothers — Marlon, Jermaine, Tito and Jackie are set for their own return to the stage as The Jacksons.

“The brothers don’t know this, but I’ve broken down several times and cried during rehearsals,” said Jermaine during a recent rehearsal break on a soundstage in Burbank, California.

“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.”

The Jackson brothers (hard for me to simply say ‘The Jacksons’ now that Michael is gone) are launching their “Unity” tour today, five days ahead of the third anniversary of Michael’s death from an overdose of the anesthetic Propofol on June 25, 2009.
