Janet Jackson was rumored to be performing with her brothers in a tribute to their late brother, the King of Pop Michael Jackson. However, the singer shut those reports down pretty fast. However, according to Jermaine Jackson, Janet will be going on a world tour later this year with the remaining members of the Jackson 5 and will be taking Michael’s place. He said “We had a conference call and Janet has agreed to join us on tour.” I think I want to wait until I hear from Janet herself before I believe this one. The fact that it’s Jermaine who said it should be enough to be suspicious.
Or so A&E wishes it. I seems that they’ve made an offer to the Jackson brothers, Jermaine, Jackie, Marlin and Tito, for a new series of their old reality show, “The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty”. However, the Jackson clan members have apparently been reluctant to accept the offer. Since the whole “This is IT” thing is pretty much over now, A&E probably thought they might squeeze in a little more from the clan, but what kind of a show will it be without Michael Jackson around anymore. That’s what his brothers are probably considering too by not accepting the offer. Joe Jackson however is probably very, very sad that he isn’t being consulted as well. But not too much… after all, he has all of that furniture money to spend.
Michael Jackson’s brothers and sisters are planning rehearsals to perform at least one of the late King of Pop’s scheduled shows, according to U.S. reports.
Sisters Janet and LaToya are looking to join the remaining Jackson 5 brothers to perform a tribute on July 13, the day Jacko would have played his first comeback show at London’s O2 arena.
“If all goes well, the Jacksons are looking to fill at least five of the 50 gigs their superstar brother was scheduled to perform on his sold-out comeback series,” a report said.
A family member told the paper: “We might do the 13th or a date in August with Jan and Toya.
“It’ll be good and we’ll do it right for Michael.”
The stars, including brothers Tito, Jermaine, Jackie and Marlon, are putting aside their differences and are working on the choreography to back up songs and dance numbers Michael already worked on.
They are even looking at a world tour after playing at the O2, a family source said.
With the first concert date looming and with Jackson’s memorial-service extravaganza on Tuesday, the famous siblings are racing the clock.
“They’re working on keeping the tour going,” said another family source.
No one has gone untouched by the passing of the King of Pop Michael Jackson and his fellow legendary comrades and friends are all shocked by the singer’s death. Diana Ross, who was a very big factor in the rise to fame of the Jackson 5, recently released a statement saying “I can’t stop crying, this is too sudden and shocking. I am unable to imagine this. My heart is hurting. I am in prayer for his kids and the family.” Tina Turner also commented on the sudden passing of her peer saying “I am shocked and saddened by Michael’s passing. I, along with his millions of fans, looked forward to seeing him tour one more time. Now, may he rest in peace.”
Sources are saying that, after a secret meeting at the Beverly Hills Hotel recently, Michael Jackson made it clear that he will not be performing with Janet and the Jackson 5, even if the organizer will sue him for it. It was earlier reported that Jacko’s manager signed a deal on behalf of the former King of Pop to perform with his family at Cowboy Stadium in Texas in 2010. Part of the deal was to not sign any other concert deal for 18 months but we all know that Jacko signed a deal for his London concerts scheduled to begin in July. Patrick Allocco of AllGood Entertainment recently resubmitted his offer for Jacko to perform. For the one night event, he will get $3 million, Janet $1 million and the brothers $500,000 to split. If Jacko refuses the final offer, AllGood Entertainment will proceed with suing him and his family.
