LITTLE sister Janet will finally join her big brothers in The Jackson 5 for a world tour this year, according to chief family spokesman Jermaine.
With Foxtel talent and media types at hot spot Tokonomo, after a hard day spruiking The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty, the singer told Confidential the family had a conference call on Tuesday morning to discuss future plans.
When asked if the Jackson 5 would ever grace Australian shores again, Jermaine insisted the tour plans were well under way.
"And Janet will be joining us. We're all talking about it now," he told music editor Kathy McCabe. "She has never played with us before so that will be very special. She definitely wants to do it."
Janet was originally going to join the family reunion shows scheduled for last year but the tour was canned because Michael didn't want to join his brothers, preferring to go ahead with his own This Is It concert tour.
With her own recording career in limbo after the lacklustre performance of her 2008 record Discipline, Janet and her brothers would enjoy a significant career boost touring as a family after Michael's death.
Jermaine said they may even use Michael's This Is It stage. "We own it," he said.
Jermaine, 55, put up his hand for a ticket to fellow American touring star Rihanna's cocktail party at Ivy on Monday night.
He was overheard saying he hoped to persuade Rihanna to join a Michael Jackson tribute show he is trying to organise later in the year. No word to date on how well his request was received by the star, who spent the party locked up tight with her posse in a corner, ignoring fellow guests
