Tito Jackson of the Jackson 5 has died at the age of 70. The Jackson 5 are one of the most famous pop groups ever. He was brother to the late great Michael Jackson. The official cause of death is yet not know, but it is thought according to a friend that it might have been a heart attack while he was traveling. Do you remember the Jackson 5? I mostly remember Michael as a solo artist, but I have seen some television programmes about the Jackson 5.

The Jackson 5 was before my time, but of course since I knew about Michael Jackson I knew who Tito was. It is very sad.

They were slightly before my time too, but I've seen programmes about Michael Jackson and ofcause they talked about the Jackson 5 and showed clips and stuff. I might have seen them on Top of the Pops compilation programmes too. Yes, it is very sad.

I saw it in my news feed. 70 isn't very old to die, but plenty die before that.

Oh, yes, I remember them so well. There was a kid in my class in elementary school who loved them and sang exactly like Michael did back then.

Yes, they were good, weren't they? I bet that was very entertaining.

@sharonelton — every talent show always featured Charlie singing the Jackson Five.

Yes, the other members weren't as famous as him after the Jackson 5 split up. But Jermaine I know, and he's good too. The others are Jackie and Marlon and there was Joe too.

Yes, the Jackson 5 was very popular when I was a teen and older. Heard about Tito's passing and was surprised that he was still pretty young. Have a good day.

I suspect as more of them become older, we will hear more news. Talented people for sure. All of the Jacksons.

Yes. And people are dying who are younger than my Mum and Syd.

I was never a fan of the Jackson 5 but did enjoy some songs, How many more are alive from the group?

I did enjoy some songs too. I want you back is the obvious one I can think of. Jermaine Jackson is still around. I don't know about Jackie or Marlon. And ofcause sisters LaToya and Janet.

That's not very old really - not in these times. I don't remember too many of their songs.

A pity - he could have lived longer. His dad Joe Jackson passed away in 2018 at age 89. His mother Katharine Jackson is still alive at age 94.

Yes, he could. It is very sad. That's a good age for his mother.
