Will the untimely passing of Michael Jackson resurrect the singing career of the Jackson brothers? Four Jackson brothers, members of the hit-making quintet led by Michael Jackson until his solo career skyrocketed, have been in negotiations with AEG Live about performing at the O2 Arena in London. They want to take over some of the dates the venue had earmarked for Michael Jackson's 50 comeback concerts, the Los Angeles Times has reported.
The quintet broke up in 1984. But there are outward signs that Michael's death has brought the brothers closer together and may result in the rebirth of the Jacksons on the stage. On Friday, promoters for Jamaica's star-studded music festival Reggae Sumfest announced that three members of the group -- Tito, Randy and Jackie Jackson -- had been confirmed as attendees at a concert next weekend. The announcement said that a fourth member, Marlon Jackson, "may also join." Jermaine Jackson will be in Austria that weekend at the 2009 Save the World Awards, where he will accept a posthumous humanitarian award for Michael.
As sad as this sounds, Michael Jackson will be worth more in death, literally and figuratively, than in life. I suspect his brothers will make more money now than they have ever made previously.
