LONDON (AP) — Two of Michael Jackson's siblings say they tried to intervene to prevent his drug abuse but could not get close to their brother because of his security team.
Tito and Rebbie Jackson said Tuesday the family was aware of Michael's drug problem.
Tito Jackson says his late brother's security team acted as if he was the U.S. president and kept his family away. He says he got into physical fights with security personnel and was sometimes barred from his brother's gated property.
The two Jacksons are in London to promote Wednesday's premiere of a documentary about his life.
Their mother Katherine Jackson canceled her trip to London to attend the final days of the Los Angeles trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, accused of manslaughter in the pop star's death

Brother Tito Jackson said the brothers met four weeks ago to discuss a plan to reunite the group, including superstar Michael Jackson.
"There are a few plans for The Jacksons to get together and do some recording," he told BBC radio in London. "We had a meeting as little as four weeks ago and we are planning to tour the UK - I would say in 1997." He added, "We will either name it the Generation Tour or we might name it All In The Family."
When asked whether those involved would include Michael, Tito laughed: "All the brothers that have the last name Jackson."
The Jackson Five - later known as the Jacksons - had a long series of hits including "I Want You Back" and "I'll Be There."
There was no immediate comment from Michael Jackson's office on whether he would rejoin the group and join the tour.
