Singer Tito Jackson, 70, passes away according to his sons.

The world was saddened to learn of the passing of Tito Jackson, a beloved member of the iconic pop group, the Jackson 5. Tito, who was 70 years old, was the third of nine talented children in the Jackson family, including global superstars Michael and Janet. The Jacksons have left a lasting impact on the music industry, with their songs still cherished by fans today.

In a statement shared on Instagram, Tito's sons TJ, Taj, and Taryll expressed their shock and heartache over the loss of their beloved father, a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer. They described him as an incredible man who cared deeply for others. It was clear that Tito was a loving and compassionate person, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him.

The Jackson 5, consisting of brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. They had numerous chart-topping hits in the 1970s, including "ABC," "I Want You Back," and "I'll Be There." Tito, who was born on October 15, 1953, was often overlooked as a background singer and guitarist, while his brothers pursued successful solo careers.

The loss of his younger brother Michael in 2009 brought the Jackson family closer together. In an interview with The Associated Press, Tito spoke about the impact of Michael's death on their family. He said it was a great loss that brought them closer and that the love they have for each other is even more evident in his absence. Tito also admitted that he still struggles to come to terms with his brother's passing.

The Jackson brothers continued to perform together after Michael's death, but Tito acknowledged that it was never the same without him. He said they would never get used to performing without their beloved brother, but they always felt his spirit with them. Tito shared a heartfelt message on Facebook just days before his own death, thanking fans for keeping his brother's spirit alive and sharing a photo of the brothers at a memorial in Munich, Germany.

In 2016, Tito released his debut solo project, Tito Time, making him the last of the Jackson siblings to do so. He continued to work on new music, releasing a song in 2017 and revealing plans for a second album. However, Tito's main focus was always his family, and he purposely held back from pursuing a solo career in order to raise his three sons, who later formed the group 3T. Tito's website even features a single from 3T and Stevie Wonder titled "Love One Another," promoting a message of unity and love.

Tito Jackson will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and fans all over the world. His legacy as a talented musician and an incredible human being will live on through his music and the memories shared by those who knew him. Rest in peace, Tito.
