A funeral was held for Tito Jackson at the same Southern California cemetery where his brother Michael Jackson and his father, Joe Jackson, are buried.
Family and friends gathered Monday to mourn the singer and guitarist for the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, about seven weeks after his death at age 70. Photos from several media outlets showed mourners that included siblings Marlon and La Toya Jackson, as well as Michael’s children Paris and Bigi Jackson.
Tito Jackson’s sons said on Instagram that after the service, a smaller family ceremony was held a few miles away at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, where he was laid to rest.
Jackson’s Sept. 15 death was the second among the nine Jackson siblings after Michael Jackson died at age 50 in 2009. Tito Jackson was the third child of Joe and Katherine Jackson. His mother, 94, is among his survivors.
Michael Jackson was laid to rest 15 years ago in a mausoleum at the Glendale cemetery, which is also the burial place of Elizabeth Taylor and Walt Disney. Joe Jackson was buried there in 2018.
Robbie, Ackerley welcome child: Margot Robbie has entered her motherhood era. The Oscar-nominated “Barbie” star and producer reportedly welcomed her first child with film producer husband Tom Ackerley.
The two are now parents to a baby boy, whose name and birth date have not yet been revealed.
Robbie and Ackerley, both 34, sparked pregnancy rumors over the summer. Photos were published in July of the actor wearing a top that exposed her baby bump as she and Ackerley boarded a boat in Lake Como, Italy. Shortly after the photos spread online, sources confirmed that Robbie and Ackerley were indeed expecting their first child.
The producing duo, who have kept much of their private life under wraps, married in December 2016. Robbie and Ackerley founded Lucky Chap Entertainment with producers Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr in 2014, the same year they began dating after meeting on the set of the film “Suite Française.”

Born to jazz musician John L. Nelson and Mattie Della Shaw in 1960, two years after Prince, Nelson was a singer-songwriter, releasing four albums across her career, starting with 1988’s “Royal Blue.” That album produced her biggest hits, “Marc Anthony’s Tune,” which spent 11 weeks on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, peaking at No. 33, and “L.O.V.E.,” which spent seven weeks on the chart and topped at No. 52.
