THEY WANT YOU BACK "The Jackson 5 will reunite in 2009, eldest brother Jermaine Jackson confirmed Wednesday at a TV industry function. 'This has been a long time coming for the Jackson family to get back together,' he told the Australian Associated Press. … 'It is going to be more like a family affair, Janet's going to open and, of course, the original Jackson 5 … Michael, Randy and the whole family.'"

Fresh off of years and years of inactivity, Jermaine Jackson is piping up to claim that he and his damaged brothers are planning a Jackson 5 reunion tour for 2008. And according to Jermaine, yes, even the scary heavy-petter is aboard.

…"Michael will be involved. We feel we have to do it one more time. We owe that to the fans and to the public."

"There's been so much going on, getting over all the hurdles that we all were faced with during Michael's trial. But we are stronger than ever."

The 53-year-old has also hinted at the band releasing some new material, saying that the group was "in the studio at the moment".

This we'll believe when we see it perform for seven minutes before arguing amongst itself about the choreography, storming off stage and canceling all remaining dates.
