The Jacksons are preparing to release their first album since the death of Tito Jackson.
The beloved singer - who was the older brother of late King of Pop Michael Jackson - passed away in September 2024, at the age of 70, and his bandmates in the legendary family pop group, Jackie Jackson and Marlon Jackson, have continued the family band and will share their first studio project since 1989's 2300 Jackson Street "soon".
Jackie told the Daily Star: "We got a new album coming up soon, as The Jacksons. I can't talk a lot about it but it's the brothers, and it's gonna be great."
In the meantime, fans can catch The Jacksons at Audley End House and Gardens in Essex, on July 19, as part of the Heritage Live Festivals series.
Jackie said of the huge outdoor gig: "Fans should bring their dancing shoes.
"We'll be doing all our hit songs."

Jackie admitted the death of his brother and bandmate still hasn't "hit me".
He said: "I don't think it's hit me. Tito was part of the Jackson Five from the very beginning, We had just finished doing the show in Germany, he decided to go back to Oklahoma to his ranch. He had a doctor's appointment but he decided to go out and chase somebody who had a car because he collected all kinds of old cars around America. But he never made it back to his ranch."
As for whether Randy or Jermaine Jackson could return to the I Want You Back band, he said: "They can come back when they're ready to come back, right now Randy's busy managing our sister Janet."
Tito suffered a fatal heart attack while driving from New Mexico to Oklahoma on September 15.
He was last onstage in Munich, Germany on September 10.
Tito shot to fame alongside his siblings in the Jackson 5 - who would later become The Jacksons - in the late 1960s and 1970s under the legendary Motown label.

The original lineup consisted of Tito, Jackie, Marlon, Michael, and Jermaine Jackson.
Their best-known hits include ABC, The Love You Save, and I'll Be There.

G-Dragon set to rock Bangkok this August
Brace yourselves, Thai VIPs. After years of near-silence, the K-pop icon G-Dragon has officially announced his long-awaited return to the stage. Bangkok finds itself front and centre on the second phase of his Ubermensch world tour. G-Dragon, the soloist and style icon of K-pop powerhouse BigBang, is known for his rap flow and kaleidoscopic fashion sense. The king of cool returned after a seven-year, four-month hiatus with his single 'Power', released on October 31. The drop sparked a full-blown storm across the Korean entertainment scene. Before that, no one really knew what his next move would be – or when we'd ever see him on stage again. Sure, he recently made a brief stop in Thailand, performing as part of a K-pop lineup at K-Star Spark in Bangkok, but it felt more like a teaser than a return. But just as the buzz began to settle, he lit the fuse once more. This time on a global scale with the announcement of his world tour. When is G-Dragon's world tour in Bangkok? Though the poster states that G-Dragon will take over Rajamangala National stadium for one night on August 2 2025, he confirmed on his Instagram that the show will actually span one more night, extending to August 3. Exact times and ticketing details are expected to drop soon. Setlist The official setlist has yet to be confirmed, fans are already deep in speculation mode. With a catalogue stacked with iconic tracks, there's plenty to choose from. What's certain is that songs from his new album Ubermensch will be on the list, likely woven in with older fan-favourites that have defined his legacy, including 'Crayon', 'That xx', 'Crooked', 'One of a kind' and many more. Power Home sweet home Middle fingers-up One of a kind R.O.D The leaders Crayon Bonamana That xx Butterfly I love it Who you? Today Crooked Heartbreaker bullshit Take me Too bad Drama This love 1 year Ibelongiiu Untitled 2014 Last dance We like 2 party Where else will G-Dragon's world tour stop?

Ascot fans furious as wheelie bins dumped outside Frankie Dettori statue
Race-goers blasted Ascot bosses yesterday as wheelie bins were dumped near a statue of the world famous jockey Frankie Dettori. Guests at the posh festival found the bronze sculpture - depicting the super jockey performing one of his trademark flying dismounts - surrounded by wheelie bins. One fan said: "It's a bloody outrage" while another reveller added: "It looks like Frankie's been dumped." The life-sized statue marks Dettori, 54, riding all seven winners in one day at the Berkshire course in 1996 at staggering odds of 25,051/1. Fans - and bookies - yesterday said they therefore felt it was disrespectful the bins had been abandoned in front of the statue, erected in 2001 by Ascot management. One visitor said: "It's a shame. Frankie's a hero to everyone here. He's won us all money. I think they should leave the bins where they are and move the statue to a more prominent position. Lots of people will want selfies taken with it. They're missing a trick." The sculpture, near the Royal Enclosure, and shows the Italian jockey performing his trademark flying dismount. The army of bins has grown as the week has progressed, according to the Daily Star with, at one stage, six wheelies lined up in front of the statue. When an official spotted photographers taking pictures of the bins two were wheeled away and the others were hastily moved to the side, our sister publication added. But the sight did not go unnoticed by guests at the four-day race meeting, a highlight in the sporting calendar. One said: "It's like an after-thought. It should be in the parade ring to mark where he did his dismounts. It's a bloody outrage." Another said: "I guess this just proves one minute you're hot and the next you're not. It's a bit like someone's book ending up in the bargain basement section." Another joked: "Bloody hell… it's just like Birmingham," in a jibe to the city's ongoing bin strike chaos. Mountains of full rubbish bags and overflowing wheelie bins are lining residential strikes there amid the turmoil. Dettori, who was born in Milan, announced he was filing for bankruptcy in March after a tax dispute. The racing legend, made an MBE in 2001, had been attempting to untangle his tax arrangements in Britain after they were challenged by HMRC after moving to the US. But fans and pundits said this shouldn't detract from Dettori's impressive career and fury around the bins. His "Magnificent Seven" triumphs at odds of more than 25,000/1 at the Festival of British Racing in September 1996 cleaned the bookies out of £1million - and has never been matched since. A spokesman for a major bookmaker said: "It does seem just a little bit trashy of Ascot at Britain's showpiece meeting to place the bins in front of Frankie after the Italian stallion smashed us for millions with his 25,000/1 Magnificent Seven." Daily Star and the Mirror has approached Ascot for comment. Dettori has not responded to requests for comment.
