Tito Jackson, Michael's brother and member of Jackson 5, dies at 70, sons say

Tito Jackson, one of the brothers who made up the beloved pop group the Jackson 5, has died at age 70, his sons say.

Tito was the third of nine Jackson children, which include global superstars Michael and sister Janet, part of a music-making family whose songs are still beloved today.

“It’s with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved father, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tito Jackson is no longer with us. We are shocked, saddened and heartbroken. Our father was an incredible man who cared about everyone and their well-being,” his sons TJ, Taj and Taryll said in a statement posted on Instagram and Facebook late Sunday.

Jackson’s death was first reported by “Entertainment Tonight,” which said in a social media post that, “Steve Manning, a longtime Jackson family friend and former Jackson family manager, tells ET that Tito passed away today. While an official cause of death has not yet been determined, Manning believes that Tito suffered a heart attack while driving from New Mexico to Oklahoma.”

The Jackson 5 included brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael. The family group, which was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, produced several No. 1 hits in the 1970s including “ABC,” “I Want You Back” and “I’ll Be There.”

The Jackson 5 became one of the biggest names in music under the guidance of their father, Joe Jackson, a steelworker and guitar player who supported his wife and nine children in Gary, Indiana. As the family’s music careers took off, they relocated to California.

Born on Oct. 15, 1953, Toriano Adaryll “Tito” Jackson was the least-heard member of the group as a background singer who played guitar. His brothers launched solo careers, including Michael, who became one of the world’s biggest performers and came to be known as The King of Pop.

Michael Jackson died at age 50 on June 25, 2009.

Speaking to The Associated Press in December 2009, Tito Jackson said his younger brother’s death pulled the family closer together.

“I would say definitely it brought us a step closer to each other. To recognize that the love we have for each other when one of us is not here, what a great loss,” he said, adding he would personally never “be at peace with it.”

“There’s still moments when I just can’t believe it. So I think that’s never going to go away,” he said.

In 2014, Tito Jackson said he and his brothers still felt Michael Jackson’s absence in their shows, which continued with international tours.

“I don’t think we will ever get used to performing without him. He’s dearly missed,” he said, noting that his spirit “is with us when we are performing. It gives us a lot of positive energy and puts a lot of smiles on our faces.”

Days before his death, Tito Jackson posted a message on his Facebook page from Munich, Germany, on Sept. 11, where he visited a memorial to Michael Jackson with his brothers.

“Before our show in Munich, my brothers Jackie, Marlon, and I, visited the beautiful memorial dedicated to our beloved brother, Michael Jackson. We’re deeply grateful for this special place that honors not only his memory but also our shared legacy. Thank you for keeping his spirit alive,” he wrote.

Tito Jackson was the last of the nine Jackson siblings to release a solo project, with his 2016 debut, “Tito Time.” He released a song in 2017, “One Way Street,” and told the AP in 2019 that he was working on a sophomore album.

Jackson said he purposely held back from pursuing a solo career because he wanted to focus on raising his three sons, who formed their own music group, 3T. Tito Jackson’s website offers a link to a single featuring 3T and Stevie Wonder titled, “Love One Another.”

Tito Jackson also is survived by his brothers Jermaine, Randy, Marlon and Jackie, his sisters Janet, Rebbie and Latoya and their mother, Katherine. Their father died in 2018.

(CBS DETROIT) – The Motown Museum revealed new renderings of what to expect inside the highly anticipated expansion project.

The nearly 40,000-square-foot project, which will include a cafe and immersive and interactive exhibits, is expected to open in summer 2026. The museum says its fundraiser has reached $70 million, just shy of the $75 million goal.

“This is an incredibly exciting time for this project, with the past few months being full of important design details being finalized, leading us to this special moment allowing us to now share with our Detroit community and fans and visitors from around the world when they can step inside this one-of-a-kind experiential space,” Robin Terry, CEO and chairwoman of the Motown Museum, said in a statement.

In 2022, the museum released renderings of the exterior of the expansion, which will be built behind Hitsville, U.S.A. That same year, Motown legends including Smokey Robinson, Otis Williams and Martha Reeves celebrated the grand opening of Hitsville NEXT, an educational programming and creative hub, and the newly established Rocket Plaza.

Officials say the third and final phase of the project begins this month. It is expected to take 18 to 20 months, with several months of interior work.

Keegan-Michael Key on using his real voice to bring authenticity to B-127 in “Transformers One”

Keegan-Michael Key is stepping into the Transformers universe, lending his voice to B-127 in the upcoming film, “Transformers One,” an origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron.

The highly anticipated film, distributed by Paramount Pictures, tells the story of how the two legendary characters were once friends before becoming bitter enemies. Key’s character, B-127, joins forces with Elita, voiced by Scarlett Johansson, in a quest to save their planet billions of years before humans existed.

The voice of B-127, a younger version of the iconic Bumblebee, is very distinct. Despite sounding like it could have been computer synthesized, Key said the voice is 100% his.

“It is my voice, but it’s kind of a higher, younger, excitable version of me,” said Key. “I’ve done a lot of voiceover in my career where you’re almost trying to mask the voice so people don’t even recognize it, which is a compliment in and of itself. Yeah, this one, I really was able to bring myself to it.”

Key said he worked closely with the director to create the character’s voice and make sure it sounded like him.

The film also includes intense action scenes, and Key revealed his approach to making those moments sound realistic. Key said that when it comes to voicing action scenes like fights or running, he doesn’t just stand still in the booth. He said he physically acts out the movements, such as pretending to lift a heavy weight or mimicking a punch, to make the sounds more realistic.

“I’ll lose weight when I’m in the booth,” said Key.

In “Transformers One,” Bumblebee’s origin story begins with him at the lowest level in the universe, working in the depths of a corporation. Despite being in such a low position, his character remains optimistic and makes the best out of every situation, something Key found inspiring.

“He makes the best of every situation. And he doesn’t know necessarily, that he has been fired from like 50 jobs, he thinks ‘I did so great at this job, they moved me up,’” said Key.

In addition to his voice work in “Transformers One,” Key mentioned a fun Easter egg in the film, giving a nod to his famous Key & Peele sketch, “Substitute Teacher.”

“I don’t want to spoil anything, but there’s a little tip of the hat in ‘Transformers,’” he said. “That’s all we’ll say.”

“Transformers One,” will be released in theaters on Friday, Sept. 20.

Oprah sits down with Elvis Presley's granddaughter, Riley Keough, in exclusive special airing on CBS

Elvis Presley’s firstborn granddaughter, Riley Keough, opens up to Oprah Winfrey about her late mother, Lisa Marie, and life in her famous family for an exclusive prime-time special on CBS and Paramount+.

“An Oprah Special: The Presleys — Elvis, Lisa Marie and Riley,” produced by Harpo Productions, airs Tuesday, Oct. 8, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. It will stream live on Paramount+ for “Paramount+ with Showtime” subscribers, and will be available on-demand the next day for “Paramount+ Essentials” subscribers.

Winfrey traveled to Graceland Mansion in Memphis to sit down with Keough for her first in-depth interview since her mother, Lisa Marie, died last year. Before her death, Lisa Marie recorded hours of stories from her life for a memoir, “From Here to the Great Unknown,” which Riley finished co-writing.

The special features never-before-seen family photos and home videos. It also includes some of Lisa Marie’s personal audio recordings, some of which include memories of her father.

“I felt my father could change the weather. He was a god to me. A chosen human being,” Lisa Marie writes in the book.

Keough, an Emmy-nominated actress and director, shares with Winfrey the highs, lows and pressures of being a Presley, and the deep, profound relationship she had with her mother.

The memoir, which will be released Oct. 8, is a stunning look inside one of the most legendary American families, detailing Lisa Marie’s childhood, her father’s shocking death, her marriages and her descent into addiction.
