Michael Jackson's brothers are planning a world tour as the Jackson Four.

The remaining members of the group - Marlon, Tito, Jackie and Jermaine - announced their plans for a reunion next year, and hope to recreate the sound that made them stars as the Jackson 5 before Michael went solo.

Jackie Jackson, 58, said: "For 40 years, we've had great support from our fans around the world. And we should give them a great tour.

Jermaine Jackson, 54, added: "We want to go out there, hit the road and just jam."

His brothers also revealed they all knew Michael Jackson - who passed away from acute Propofol intoxication on June 25 - was dead before their parents got in touch.

Jackie Jackson was shopping when someone walked past and said "Michael Jackson died" not realising who he was.

He said: "I walked outside and I got a phone call from my mother - she told me that it was true."

Jermaine Jackson "found out from CNN" and Marlon Jackson got a phone call from a friend who asked if his brother was alright.

He said: "As I was calling my brothers, calling my mom, my daughter downstairs said, 'Dad, Uncle Michael is dead.' It was unbelievable."
