Jermaine Jackson, Michael’ brother, has confirmed speculation that The Jackson 5 are to embark on a reunion tour in 2008. The family had been trying to get it together for another reunion tour for years, but the possibility was delayed by Michael’s child abuse trial in 2005. Jermaine told the British radio station BBC 6 Music that the band has discussed setting up concert dates “sometime in 2008.” Concert promoter Leonard Rowe, the man behind Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall tour in the late 1970s and early 1980s, recently admitted he had been in touch with the infamous Jackson family to discuss reforming for a number of live dates.”Michael will be involved,” Jermaine says. “We feel we have to do it one more time. We owe that to the fans and to the public.”The Jacksons last toured in 1984, on the infamous Victory tour, just after M-Jack dropped Thriller.
