Rumored Music Travel: Jackson 5 To Reunite, Tour in 2008
Here at Jaunted, we try not to let ourselves get carried away about silly rumors, whether they be about Southwest's new "Barbecue Your Own" coach seats or Dick Cheney's hunting trips. When we saw on a few blogs that the Jackson 5 were set to follow Sting The Police and the Spice Girls in blessed reunion, we thought, "Oh, but what if we get our hopes up for nothing?" Since the BBC has already run a piece on it, though, we're feeling confident to say: Jackson 5. Coming to your town. Sooner than you think. And Michael will be there!
Recent "Celebrity Big Brother UK" runner-up Jermaine Jackson told the Beeb the brothers have been talking about another tour for years but that Michael's trial had effectively derailed all concrete plans. (Jacko was acquitted of child-abuse charges in 2005.) Now, although no definite dates or destinations have been announced, Jermaine says it's going to happen--just in time for the first wave of baby boomers! Who's got a loud sweater on?
Here's an idea: OutKast, whom everyone wants to see anyway, opens the show with "Ms. Jackson" every night, followed by little sister Janet! We shoulda been concert promoters instead of travel-obsessed Internet junkies.
