Marky Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Jermaine Jackson has confirmed that The Jackson Five will reunite for a tour and to release new material in 2009.Jackson told Australian Associated Press that all the original band members – including Michael Jackson – have agreed to the reunion and have been working on new material.He added that sister Janet Jackson would open their tour dates with a solo set."This has been a long time coming for the Jackson family to get back together," he said.He added, "What we've been doing is working on the music and all the logistics. It is going to be more like a family affair, Janet's going to open and, of course, the original Jackson Five: Michael, Randy and the whole family."We're in the studio, we're planning on being out there next year." Awesome stuff, some real soul/r'n'b/funk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Damn. Oh well, It'll happen some day. I'm still looking forward to hearing his new stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I'm really surprised about Michael being involved, but it's a great surprise. Can't wait!Who the hell would go to see The Jackson 5 without Michael? I really want to see Michael without his family. Seeing Michael Jackson is something that's on my list of things to do before I die. He's one of the All Time Great American Freakshows.

Zint Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I saw the Jackson 5/Michael Jackson tour in '83. (or was it '84?)It was very cool hearing all the brothers belting out all the old hits,but Michal's solo set stole the show.I'd go agan,if Michael was involved.But if he's not there...no dice.
