JACKSON TOUR NOT HAPPENING

Jermaine teased fans earlier this week (beg27Oct08) when he stated Michael, his brothers and sister Janet would record a new album together and tour in 2009 to revive the family's flagging fortunes.

But the Beat It singer has slammed the reports, insisting there are no plans to reunite the Jackson 5 or any other family group.

In a statement, Jackson says, "My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we’ve certainly shared many great experiences, but, at this time, I have no plans to record or tour with them.

"I am now in the studio developing new and exciting projects that I look forward to sharing with my fans in concert soon."
