Jermaine makes Jackson 5 reunion slightly more official :: Music News :: Articles

The saga of the Jackson clan is so lengthy, convoluted and tragic that it could probably fill the pages of a Dickensian epic. Let's call it Blighted Expectations: A Tale of Five Jacksons.

Well, as we've previously reported, there could soon be a new entry to the Jackson family history: a 21st Century reunion tour. But whereas the source on that last report (a promoter) was a bit dubious, now one of the Jacksons is on the record stating that the reunion will happen, with the King of Pop included and everything.

Jermaine Jackson spoke with BBC 6 Music, and stated that the family would reconvene for a tour at some point next year.

"Michael will be involved," Jermaine added. "We feel we have to do it one more time. We owe that to the fans and to the public."

He also mentioned to the BBC that the group was "in the studio at the moment," raising the possibility of new material from the group. It would be the first time the brothers have collaborated since 1989's 2300 Jackson Street.
