The Jackson brothers -- Marlon, Tito, Jackie and Jermaine -- are still mourning the death of their brother Michael and feel his presence wherever they go. Tito, 56, said: “No matter what we’re doing -- working in the studio or rehearsing dance steps -- there’s an emptiness there. You feel it constantly. It’s bearing down on you. Emotionally it’s very difficult to sing these songs without Michael. Just to hear him on the radio today is very emotional.”

Michael and Randy Jackson (Getty)Jackie also claimed he can feel the King of Pop around him. He said: “Michael is with us 24/7. Every time you turn around there he is on TV. He’s always with us.”

Jackie added he didn’t believe that Michael was gone when he was first told. He said: “Someone told me my brother was dead. It was very hard for me to believe. So I called my mother and she was screaming and hollering and crying.”

Marlon, 52, also admitted the death was difficult to deal with. He said in an interview with theDaily Mirror newspaper: “Michael was a major part of the Jackson Five and of course he was a brother long before we became famous. I don’t think people will ever understand the loss of Michael as a brother versus a pop star. Losing a sibling is devastating.”
