Tito Jackson, brother of co-founder of Michael and Jackson 5, dies at 70

Tito Jackson, Michael Jackson’s older brother and the co-founder and guitarist of the Jackson 5, has died. He was 70.

Jackson died Sunday while driving from New Mexico to Oklahoma, longtime Jackson family friend and manager Steve Manning told multiple outlets. His sons, Taj, Taryll and TJ, confirmed his death on Instagram.

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved father, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tito Jackson,” they wrote. “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 of the legendary Jackson 5, some may know him as ‘Coach Tito’ or some may know him as ‘Poppa T.’ Regardless, we will miss him dearly. It will always be ‘Tito Time’ for us. Remember to do what our father always preached and that is ‘Love One Another.’ We love you Pops.”
