The Profound Loss and Lasting Legacy of Tito Jackson (1953–2024)
The Jackson family experienced a devastating loss in late 2024 with the passing of Toriano "Tito" Jackson on September 15, 2024, at the age of 70. Tito, a cornerstone of the group, was the primary guitarist for the Jackson 5 and The Jacksons, providing the signature R&B and funk sound that defined their early Motown success. His death marks the second sibling loss for La Toya and the family, following the passing of Michael Jackson in 2009.
Tito Jackson had continued his musical pursuits right up until his death, showcasing his passion for blues music and solo work. His final solo album, titled Under Your Spell, was reportedly in the works and a highly anticipated project for his fans. His legacy is cemented not just as a member of one of the world's biggest bands, but as a dedicated blues musician who successfully transitioned his career from pop stardom to a respected solo blues artist, often touring with his own band for almost two decades.
The loss has undoubtedly reshaped the dynamic of the remaining Jackson siblings, particularly for the touring group "The Jacksons," which had recently consisted of Tito, Jackie, Marlon, and Jermaine. The family has received an outpouring of support from the music community, highlighting the enduring impact of the Jackson family's musical influence.

The youngest sibling, Janet Jackson, continues her reign as a global pop icon. In 2025, she is maintaining a demanding schedule, extending her successful Las Vegas residency at Resorts World Theatre. Furthermore, her "Together Again" tour has been extended with new dates announced for September 2025, demonstrating her incredible stamina and fan demand decades into her career. The tour, which often features other major artists, is a testament to her enduring influence on modern music and performance.
Jermaine, Jackie, and Marlon: The Jacksons and New Media
The core members of The Jacksons—Jermaine, Jackie, and Marlon—have continued to perform globally, celebrating their 50+ year career. Their concerts are a nostalgic journey through the Motown era and the group's transition into The Jacksons. Beyond the stage, the brothers are exploring new avenues to preserve their history:
- Jermaine Jackson: He has been vocal about his plans to establish a "Jackson Museum," aiming to create an immersive, multimedia exhibition experience to honor the family's incredible career and legacy. There have also been unconfirmed reports that Jermaine has been residing in the Middle East in 2025.

Randy Jackson: Health Transformation and Behind-the-Scenes Work
Randy Jackson, the youngest brother, has been a major focus of health news in 2025. After decades of public battles with obesity and type 2 diabetes, Randy has made headlines for a remarkable and sustainable weight loss journey, shedding over 80 pounds. His transformation is often highlighted as a testament to persistence and a holistic approach to health, using his platform to promote wellness. While he is best known to a younger generation as the former judge on American Idol, he continues to work behind the scenes in the music and television industry.
Rebbie Jackson: Activism and the Eldest Sister's Role
Maureen Reillette "Rebbie" Jackson, the eldest of the siblings, has largely maintained a more private life compared to her younger sisters and brothers. However, her career is celebrated for its timeless quality, particularly her 1984 hit "Centipede." In recent years, Rebbie has embraced a new passion as an activist, specifically becoming an advocate for mental health awareness. She uses her platform to educate audiences, focusing on wellness and family support, a role that has become increasingly important within the high-profile Jackson family.
From the enduring "Together Again" tour of Janet to the emotional loss of Tito and the health journey of Randy, La Toya Jackson's siblings prove that the Jackson family’s story is far from over. Their individual and collective endeavors in 2025 continue to shape the narrative of one of the most powerful pop music dynasties the world has ever known, ensuring the legacy first forged in Gary, Indiana, remains vibrant and relevant.
