Tito Jackson’s Emotional Last Photo Upsets Fans: ‘My Heart Is Broken’

Fans are moved by Tito Jackson’s final shot, which he shared before passing away. The message honored his late brother, the celebrity, and the legacy he and his brothers built.

On September 12, Jackson 5 legend Tito Jackson posted a heartfelt Instagram tribute to his late, legendary brother Michael Jackson, reflecting on the extraordinary life he had built. Now that Tito has passed away, admirers are overtaken with sorrow at the lovely family photo and thoughtful caption he sent, including Michael.

Before Tito passed away on September 15, he and his two well-known brothers, Jackie and Marlon Jackson, took a trip down memory lane, capturing the essence of family and fraternity.

The three brothers went to Michael’s memorial in Munich, Germany. It’s a large monument covered in images of the late “Thriller” hitmaker, along with candles, flowers, and heart-shaped souvenirs.

A few of the monument’s pictures were sentimental pictures of Michael with his family, including his brothers. In Tito’s post, he, Marlon, and Jackie appeared to be beaming with pride and love as they looked at the mementos and reflected on the past.

“My brothers Jackie, Marlon, and I went to the lovely tribute for our late brother Michael Jackson before our performance in Munich. We are incredibly appreciative of this unique location that celebrates both our common heritage and his memories. “I appreciate you preserving his soul,” Tito wrote as the picture’s caption.

Before our concert in Munich, my brothers Jackie, Marlon, and I attended the beautiful memorial service for our late brother Michael Jackson. “I appreciate you preserving his soul,” Tito captioned the photo, expressing how grateful we are for this special place that honors both his memories and our shared heritage.

After learning of the star’s passing, fans who saw Tito’s moving final picture expressed their emotions in the post’s comment area. One follower said, “[With] your brother now Tito, my heart is broken💔💔💔,” expressing grief.

Someone else added, “Rest in peace Tito Jackson ♥️😭 you are with Michael now 🕊.” An admirer said, “We will honor you both forever, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING ♥️✨.” Another person said, “A fitting way to end the post. 🖤🎊️​♾️.”

Following media sources’ confirmation of Tito’s death, his fans released the following statements. One such confirmation was provided via an Entertainment Tonight post on X. According to the outlet, the singer of “Love One Another” went suddenly at the age of 70. The singer’s longtime friend Steve Manning made the revelation.

Although the cause of death is still unknown, Manning thinks Tito had a heart attack while traveling from New Mexico to Oklahoma. At the conclusion of their broadcast, the media outlet stated, “Updates are developing.”

Born on October 15, 1953, the late Indiana native had a remarkable career during his lifetime. Based on his biography on the Jacksons website, Tito was frequently given credit for founding the wildly successful band he performed in with his brothers, despite being the third oldest of the Jackson siblings.

Known for being The Jackson 5’s guitarist, he also used his low voice to accentuate his brothers’ falsetto notes.

Tito’s late father, Joseph (Joe) Jackson, initially noticed his musical abilities when he was just eight years old, prior to the premiere of The Jackson 5.

After discovering a broken string on his guitar one day, Joseph—who Tito claimed acquired his talents from—discovered that his eight-year-old son had been playing the instrument every day.

Joseph, the lead guitarist for his blues band “The Falcons,” was thrilled with his son’s guitar playing and asked Tito to perform it for him.

The late Jackson patriarch was also taken aback by the vocal prowess of his two sons, Jermaine and Jackie, and consequently started to imagine a career for them as a musical group.

By 1967, Tito, Jermaine, Jackie, Marlon, and Michael Jackson had established themselves as The Jackson 5. Apart from the well-liked musical ensemble, Tito focused on his individual endeavors.

He collaborated with legendary performers like Babyface, LA Reid, and Howard Hewett during his career, in addition to his famous sisters Janet, La Toya, and Rebbie Jackson.

In 2010’s first season of the reality series “The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty,” on the A&E Network, the late musician also served as executive producer.

With the release of his debut solo single, “Get It Baby,” in 2016, Tito became the ninth and last Jackson sibling to have a single charting on the Billboard charts. The publication of further singles and his debut album “Tito Time” coincided with his victory.

Tito published his second album “Under Your Spell” three years ago (2021); the collection of songs included a number of gifted musicians.

Apart from his enduring and legendary legacy, Tito Jackson is survived by his family, which consists of his three boys.

As members of the band 3T, TJ, Taj, and Taryll Jackson all carried on the musical legacy of their illustrious late father.
