Tito Jackson tragically passed away after suffering a heart attack while traveling from New Mexico to Oklahoma on September 15. The Jacksons had performed several shows last year, with Tito’s final appearance onstage taking place in Munich, Germany, on September 10.
Tito first rose to fame with his brothers as part of The Jackson 5, which later became The Jacksons, during the late 1960s and 1970s under the Motown label. The group’s iconic lineup included Tito, Jackie, Marlon, Michael, and Jermaine Jackson, with timeless hits like ‘ABC’, ‘The Love You Save’, and ‘I’ll Be There’.
