Tito Jackson, who alongside four of his brothers formed the beloved and hugely popular band the Jackson 5, has died at age 70.
His sons — Taj, Taryll and TJ — announced his death early Monday on the Instagram page belonging to their R&B band, 3T. They did not specify how, where or when Jackson died.
“Our father was an incredible man who cared about everyone and their well-being,” they wrote. “Some of you may know him as Tito Jackson from the legendary Jackson 5, some may know him as ‘Coach Tito’ or some know him as ‘Poppa T.’ Nevertheless, he will be missed tremendously.”
Born in Gary, Ind. on October 15, 1953, Toriano Adaryll Jackson grew up the third of nine siblings, all of whom eventually started careers in music or other entertainment.
