At the Apollo - Manchester Yesterday
"They wanted to tear down this family's name," the four remaining Jacksons told this paper recently, referring to the controversies which dogged their late brother Michael before his untimely death in 2009 – everything from unproven child molestation allegations to plastic surgery, iffy records and chimpanzees.
However, the Unity Tour – their first since 1984 – is their long overdue attempt to restore the Jackson surname to its once unassailable position as the most famous family name in pop, synonymous with some of the greatest pop music ever made.
The Jacksons enzi hizooo!
Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon now have a combined age of 233, but, in their glittering outfits, from Row Z at least, the world's biggest ever boy band barely looked older than Take That, had better voices and pulled off spinning dance moves which would put their younger successors in hospital.
Before this tour, Jackie Jackson talked of wanting to honour their catalogue and their brother with "integrity." When the last controversy has been forgotten and there are no longer any Jacksons left to sing, their songs will be remembered.
