    Janet Jackson misses her late brother Tito "so much"

    The 'Together Again' hitmaker's older sibling passed away in September at the age of 70, and the 58-year-old singer has spoken out about her tragic loss for the first time as she marked a month since the Jackson 5 member's death


    Sharing a black and white photo of herself as a child standing in front of Tito, who was wearing a fedora and printed shirt, Janet wrote on her Instagram Story on Tuesday (15.10.24): "May you rest in eternal peace [prayer emojis] I miss you so much! [heart emoji]."

    Tito was taken to hospital after suffering a medical emergency at a shopping centre in New Mexico, and was pronounced dead at the medical facility on 15 September. An investigation into his passing is still ongoing.

    The musician's sons, Taj, Taryll, and TJ - who performed as pop group 3T - previously dec lared they had been left "heartbroken" by his death.

    In a post on Instagram, the trio wrote: "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.

    "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."

    Former Jackson Five drummer Jonathan 'Sugarfoot' Moffett also paid tribute to Tito, writing in a post on Facebook: "I'm stunned and devastated to receive and hear this disheartening news.

    "I love Tito like my brothers of blood relation. I'm stunned and dismayed ... I'm at a loss of spirits. Trying to gather my thoughts, memories of him ... and mental senses ... my most sincere and deepest thoughts and prayers for my second mother, [Tito's mother] Katherine [Jackson] (my love for Katherine ... is everlasting. Dear mother, I love you dearly).
