Michael Jackson Not On Speaking Terms With Family

August 18, 2008

A few months ago there were rumors that Michael Jackson and his brothers Jermaine, Tito, Marlon and Jackie were 'working' on a comeback.

Those rumors were quickly shot down because Michael was reportedly not well enough to perform, but it turns out there's more to the story than we thought.

According to reports, Michael hasn't spoken to his brothers since he was acquitted of child molestation charges three years ago.

The Jackson brothers have been trying to reach Michael for years to get the $840,000 in royalties he owes them from their Jackson 5 hits, but no such luck.

The brothers are all expected to show up to the BMI Urban Awards on Sept. 4, to pick up their lifetime achievement awards, but it's highly unlikely that Michael, who is in a wheelchair, will join them.

I don't care about The Jackson family, just MJ.. Michael needs to stay as a SOLO artist.. the Jacksons don't have to reform.. Mike's a LOT better as a SOLO artist*.. He can tour and release new material without their help. If this was 8 year old kid we were talking about not talking to their family.... i'd be shocked... but Mike is middle aged now. and still doing what he does best*

Unfortunantly, there are millions of Nat's out there who read & believe anything negative. It's so hard to believe we aren't a little smarter than to let media types take us in the way they do. They just laugh at us all the way to bank when they make up these lies. It's really disgusting but it's life. All we can do is be smarter about it and some of us need to stop hating!!

This article is stupid, first of all Michael doesn't own the J5 catalog so why would he be in charge of royalties and secondly only last month he spoke over the phone to Tito at a party in Devon. Totally agree with you MJ Fan, it always makes me laugh.

This is nonsense. There is youtube video of MJ talking to Tito in Devon this past summer. No matter how much people protest, they want to know what's going on with the one and only King of Pop.

Yo Nat, ff MJ is so disgusting why did you bother to read this story. LOL! It always makes me laugh that the people who "claim" to have a problem with MJ, are the same people who can't resist reading a story regarding MJ. They don't like MJ, but they keep up with MJ just like a fan would.

You really can't believe these stories, Michael and the brothers have said frequently that these stories of family rifts are not true, and insiders in the Jackson camp don't talk to the media. He has made it clear that his solo work is his priority and doesn't rule out some appearances with his brothers. I would love to see it, they were so good, and still have what it takes.

Michael Jackson does NOT own the Jackson 5 catalog, so how can he be responsible for paying royalties? LOL! Also Tito Jackson recently had a party in Devon, U.K. and Michael called in to talk to the fans in attendance. It's on YouTube!

Wow..I hope this not the case with Michael and his brothers, on the other hand, I don't think the Jacksons should ever perform again
