Tito Jackson, an original member of the Jackson 5 pop group and brother of the late Michael Jackson, has died aged 70.

An official cause of death is yet to be determined.

Tito performed in the famous ensemble with brothers Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael, who died in 2009.

He was recently in Munich ahead of a performance that the group were due to give.

The news was confirmed in an Instagram post by Jackson's three sons, Taj, Taryll and TJ Jackson, who were themselves an R'n'B/pop trio, 3T, in the 1990s.

The family says they are shocked, saddened and heartbroken, as their father was an incredible man who cared about everyone and their well-being.
