The
Jackson Five are planning to tour again for the first time since
1984, Jermaine Jackson told BBC Radio on Monday.
Jermaine,
who appeared in the British version of “Celebrity Big Brother”
this year, said he and his brothers, including Michael, could
hit the road as soon as next year and that concert dates have
been discussed.
“We feel
we have to do it one more time. We owe that to the fans and to
the public,” Jermaine said in the BBC interview.
The group,
which included Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael, and
later younger brother Randy, stopped touring in the ’80s when
Michael and little sister Janet became superstars in their own
right. The Jackson Five officially disbanded in 1990.
Since
reaching mega-star status, Michael has encounter legal and
financial problems. He was acquitted of child molestation
charges two years ago. Jermaine told the BBC that Michael's
legal problems had delayed reunion plans.
“There's
been so much going on, getting over all the hurdles that we all
were faced with during Michael's trial,” Jermaine said. “But we
are stronger than ever.” He also said he and his brothers were
“in the studio at the moment.”
