The Enduring Legacy: Tito Jackson's Passing and The Jacksons' 2025 Tour Schedule
The most significant and heartbreaking news affecting the Jackson family in recent memory was the death of Tito Jackson. In September 2024, the beloved Jackson 5 guitarist passed away at the age of 70 due to a heart attack.

Despite this profound loss, the musical legacy of the brothers continues. The remaining core members of The Jacksons—primarily Jackie Jackson and Marlon Jackson—are committed to honoring their history and their late brother's memory by continuing to perform. Their commitment to the stage is unwavering, with the group actively touring and having multiple concert dates scheduled well into 2025.
In a testament to their enduring creativity, Jackie and Marlon have recently discussed plans for new music and a documentary. This demonstrates that the Jackson brothers, even over 60 years into their career, are still focused on creating original content while performing their classic hits. This ongoing tour and potential new material ensures that the music of the Jackson 5 and The Jacksons remains a vital part of the contemporary entertainment landscape.
Where Are Michael Jackson's Sisters Now? Janet's Residency and La Toya's Public Life
Michael Jackson’s sisters—Rebbie, La Toya, and Janet—have carved out distinct paths, ranging from continued global superstardom to a quiet life away from the spotlight. Their current activities in 2024 and 2025 highlight the diverse trajectories of the Jackson siblings.
Janet Jackson: The Queen of Pop's 2025 Las Vegas Residency
The youngest sibling, Janet Jackson, remains one of the world's most successful and influential artists. Her "Together Again" tour, which celebrated her 50th anniversary in show business and the anniversaries of her seminal albums, concluded in October 2024. Demonstrating her continued dominance in the industry, Janet is not slowing down. She has announced a brand-new, exclusive Las Vegas residency at the Resorts World Theatre, with shows scheduled for September 2025. This residency will continue her legacy of iconic live performances and is a major event for her global fanbase.
La Toya Jackson: Charity and Media Appearances
La Toya Jackson, the middle daughter, has maintained a visible presence in the entertainment and media world. While her focus has shifted from music to television and public life, she remains active. In 2024, she was seen attending high-profile events, conducting interviews, and lending her support to charity galas. Her public engagements, including a recent full interview in November 2024, keep her connected to fans and the media, often discussing the family's legacy and her own projects.
Rebbie Jackson: Embracing Private Life
The eldest sibling, Rebbie Jackson, has largely retreated from the public eye. Following the death of her brother Michael in 2009, she has chosen a quieter life, focusing on her family. While she is no longer actively touring or recording new music, she is occasionally mentioned and celebrated by her sisters, such as Janet, on social media, reminding fans of her foundational role in the Jackson dynasty.
Jermaine and Randy Jackson: Family and Future Projects
The other Jackson brothers, Jermaine Jackson and Randy Jackson, often focus their efforts on family matters, individual projects, and the preservation of the Jackson legacy.
The Michael Biopic and Jaafar Jackson
A major focus for the entire family in 2024 and 2025 is the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, titled Michael. The film is a full-circle moment, as Jaafar Jackson, Jermaine's son and Michael's nephew, has been cast to portray the King of Pop. The brothers, including Jackie and Marlon, have publicly praised Jaafar's dedication to "becoming Michael," signaling the family's support and involvement in the project. The casting of a family member ensures the Jackson name and talent continue into the next generation.
Jermaine and Randy's Roles
Jermaine Jackson, known for his distinct voice and solo career, has maintained a relatively low public profile in recent years, though he continues to support various charitable causes. Randy Jackson, the youngest brother, who joined The Jacksons when they transitioned from Motown, has focused on other business ventures and family affairs. While both have a history of performing with The Jacksons, their current involvement in the touring group is intermittent, allowing the core trio of Jackie, Marlon, and the late Tito (whose legacy is now carried by the remaining brothers) to headline.
The Jackson family, from the foundational figures of Joe and Katherine Jackson to the global success of Michael and Janet, continues to define a major part of music history. With The Jacksons touring in 2025, Janet's new residency, and the highly anticipated Michael biopic featuring Jaafar Jackson, the Jackson dynasty remains a dynamic force, constantly evolving while honoring its legendary past. The siblings' collective and individual careers—spanning six decades—ensure their topical authority and cultural impact will endure for generations to come.
