As he returns to the UK, near The O2 where Michael was set to perform, Tito expresses his enduring connection to his late brother. He acknowledges the younger generation of Jacksons, stating, “They’re still fairly young and haven’t figured it all out yet, but yes, he would be proud.” Tito is set to perform with family members, emphasizing the joy of music and celebration. Tito believes that had Michael been alive, he would still be actively performing and creating new hits. He shares, “We always feel his presence on the stage,” especially during significant times of the year. For Tito, music serves as a bridge to the past, allowing him to cherish memories of their time together. He asserts, “For an artist, music extends their lives,” highlighting the timeless nature of their craft.
