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.

Fate of Destination X ‘revealed' – after BBC axed TV's most expensive flop ever
THE fate of Destination X has been 'revealed' - after the BBC axed TV's most expensive flop ever. The Rob Brydon-led series sees contestants try and figure out where they are in Europe based on a series of clues and challenges. 5 5 5 The X-bus has blacked out windows and so any clues they can gather along the way are essential, as each episode, the person who marks their X furthest away from the actual location is sent home. In the end, one person will walk away with £100,000. Now it has been reported that the BBC has ordered a second series of Destination X. A show insider told the Daily Star: "Everyone at the BBC thinks Destination X is a cracking show, so they want to bring it back in 2026. "It's a clear sign that they have faith it could become one of the biggest shows on TV." The news comes after The Sun exclusively revealed the BBC had decided to axe another of its big money shows. Challenge show Survivor has been cancelled despite splurging a reported £30million on the reboot. The decision means the reality programme is being seen as television's most expensive flop. After the new version tanked in the ratings, there had been speculation that a second series was paused. Now, host Joel Dommett has revealed that it has gone for good. Destination X reveals savage 'sabotage' twist as player handed game-changing advantage ahead of brutal cliffhanger Former I'm A Celebrity star Joel, 40, said: 'It just shows you how nothing is a given in telly. 'I thought Survivor would be huge. I thought that would be my job for the next 20 years. 'I've done shows and thought that's not coming back and it keeps coming back and then you do something like Survivor, which you think is guaranteed and it doesn't come back.' 5 5

ITV Coronation Street icon 'lined up' for I'm A Celebrity 2025 stint after quitting soap
A Coronation Street star could be going on a brand new adventure after leaving their beloved soap role behind A popular Coronation Street actor is rumoured to be joining the line-up for this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Adam Hussain, who plays Aadi Alahan, has been a fixture on the cobbles since his debut in 2006, alongside his twin sister Asha (Tanisha Gorey). Originally portrayed by Zennon Ditchett, Adam took over the role in 2020 - and it's safe to say Aadi's been embroiled in some serious drama. Particularly recently, as he inadvertently spiked Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) at a party last month. In an attempt to resolve financial problems arising from managing his father Dev's (Jimmi Harkishin) business, Aadi staged a fake robbery. When Dev discovered the truth, he was furious and demanded that Aadi leave the cobbles to live in India. Recognising it's time for a fresh start, Aadi agrees and decides to depart the cobbles, reports the Daily Star. Fans have been bracing for Aadi's exit since April, when actor Adam Hussain announced his departure from the ITV soap. On Instagram, he posted: "Over the five years I've spent there, I have learned so much about the world and the industry and now feel I am ready to spread my wings a little." Now, Adam is being tipped for a spot on a major reality show. Bookmakers Betway are confident he will enter the I'm A Celebrity jungle later this year, with spokesperson Mike Reading stating: "Adam Hussain looks set for a brand new adventure beyond Coronation Street." He elaborated: "With the I'm A Celeb lineup still firmly under wraps, we have priced him up at 7/1 to swap the Rovers Return for bugs, rice, and beans." There's also a chance that Adam could make an appearance on a competing soap, with bookmakers offering odds of 12/1 and 6/1 for him to appear on Hollyoaks and EastEnders respectively.

Junior Andre admits he's 'overcoming challenges' in his career after sweetly supporting sister Princess on her ITV reality show
Junior Andre has admitted he is 'overcoming challenges' as he prepares to get his music career back on track. Back in 2022, Junior, 20, had a promising music career as his debut single Slide hit No1 in the UK's iTunes pop chart, with his follow-up track Only One also bagging the top spot a year later. The son of Katie Price and Peter Andre, 20, signed his first record deal but in the months that followed, a number of delays appeared to stall the release of any further tracks. While he's remained in the spotlight, things have been pretty quiet of late on the music front, however, that now looks set to change. Junior has now revealed that he is not 'putting pressure' on himself but has 'hot' new projects in the pipeline following the 'challenges'. He told The Sun: 'I haven't been putting pressure on myself and I've been overcoming a couple of challenges. 'It's nothing that I can't beat but it will be good in due time. 'Don't sleep on me - trust me, it's coming hot!' Junior also told the publication that he is busy focusing on 'music and acting' as well as teasing plans for his own business as well as a fragrance line. He took to Instagram earlier this week to share a black and white snap of himself alongside the caption: 'Sometimes the most quiet seasons are the most powerful ones. 'I've been moving in silence, learning, growing, making moves you haven't seen yet. I think about you all more than you know….and when the times right, you'll understand why I've been so lowkey. 'My time is coming and when it does, we're all going up together.' Though he didn't specify what he's been working on, it is most likely to be music related as that is what he's shown a strong passion for in the past. Fans of Junior were quick to share their messages of support, with many also praising how he's come across on his sister's new documentary. He took to Instagram earlier this week to share a black and white snap of himself alongside the caption: 'I've been moving in silence, learning, growing, making moves you haven't seen yet' One person penned: 'Keep being you that's all u need to do love don't change for anyone or anything. Your the best big brother and son from what I have seen i absolutely love the documentary❤️you are kind humble funny and talented. I would be proud if u were a son of mine. Xx.' While another shared: 'Young man, whatever you do you will shine, you are a kind, caring and humble. I look forward to seeing you shine even more.' His family also showed their support with dad Peter, who recently teased his own new single, writing: 'Love you son ❤️', while Princess added: 'You got this bro❤️.' Junior's words come after fans of The Princess Diaries rushed to social media to share their kind words about how much they love how close Princess and Junior are. 'Yours and Juniors relationship is so beautiful to watch - loving the show, you should be extremely proud xxx.' 'Lovely to see the relationship she has with her brother, they have both grown up to be lovely people.' 'Loving the show - you and @officialjunior_andre bond is amazing. His face watching you smash the catwalk.' 'A lovely couple of young siblings. Mum and dad must be proud.' The siblings are children of Katie and Peter - who met in 2004 while appearing on ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! The former couple tied the knot the following year and went on to split in 2009. Earlier this month, Princess and Junior shrugged off being called ' nepo babies ' as they launched Princess's brand new ITV2 reality series, insisting they're working hard to make it on their own. Speaking at the glitzy ITV launch of her show, Princess admitted that under the true definition of a 'nepo baby' the term applies, but said the focus should be on how she has built her own career over the past two years. The rising star has already inked big-money deals with brands including Morphe and Superdrug, cementing her status as a celebrity in her own right. She added that the new series will give fans an unfiltered look into her life, away from her famous parents. Speaking to The News Movement she said: 'Well obviously if you're using the actual terms of a 'nepo baby' then yeah, but we are focusing on ourselves. 'This is our own career and I feel like within the last two years I've built myself as a solo person, so this is a good time to for the show to come in as it actually shows what goes on in my life, without my parents.' Big brother Junior added that it's 'natural' for people to compare them to their superstar mum and dad but stressed that their success will come down to hard work and carving their own paths. He said: 'Yeah I mean, obviously we're gonna be compared to our parents, they've done amazing things, that's where we come from. 'It's inevitable - anyone would be compared to their parents, so you know that's natural. 'But what we're doing is focusing on ourselves and really driving and pushing our own careers and working hard. For us to succeed we have to put in the work for it.' When quizzed on what they would do differently - and what they'd do the same - as their famous parents, Junior said he was grateful for the way they'd been brought up, describing them both as polite, kind and 'normal people'. He added that some might assume otherwise, but the new show would prove they are just regular young adults navigating life like everyone else.
