Tito Jackson says he and his brothers always "feel the presence" of the late Michael Jackson onstage

Tito said of his scandal-hit sibling - who faced allegations of sexual abuse that continued beyond the grave - that : "The world was not kind to Michael at all. I don't know why. I would always say if we didn't have him, we sure would miss him. His death was such a major tragedy. The world definitely missed out on a lot of goodness from him, because he wasn't just a musician or an artist, he was a loving person. He loved to give."

The family has been through many legal disputes and rows over the years, including a long-running tax dispute, but Tito doesn't have the time for it anymore.

He insisted: "I don't have time to put it in my head. We know ourselves and we know each other. It just angers me. There are not too many people that I trust. Learning from this business... Well, there are a whole lot of wealthy people in showbusiness that are not artists, so you wonder how they got all their wealth."

Discussing where he believes the 'Beat It' hitmaker would be now and still feeling close to him, he said: "We always feel his presence on the stage. So that helps us a lot too. I can imagine Michael probably would have had three or four more hits by now, and they'd still be talking about him on the radio.

"When that time of year comes around, you feel this presence and just try to enjoy all the moments that you remember that you had together.

"Sometimes we like to have a performance on that day. Those are the days I really feel close to him, when we're working and enjoying music, because that's what we did together. Besides being brothers, that was our play time."
