SYDNEY : 70s hit band Jackson 5 will reunite for a world tour in 2009, said eldest Jackson brother and band member Jermaine Jackson.
“This has been a long time coming for the Jackson family to get back together,” said Jermaine who is in Australia for a pay TV launch.
“It is just the timing, so what we’ve been doing is working on the music and all the logistics.”
The siblings last toured together in 1984 before they disbanded in 1990, after Michael and sister Janet launched their successful solo careers in music.
“It is going to be more like a family affair, Janet’s going to open and, of course, the original Jackson 5... Michael, Randy and the whole family... we’re in the studio, we’re planning on being out there next year,” Jermaine was quoted by Australian news agency AAP as saying.
Founding group members include Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael who formed the family band back in 1965. Some of their famous chart-toppers are “I Want You Back” and “I’ll Be There”.
