Janet Jackson 'Set For World Tour With Jackson 5'

February 22, 2010

Janet Jackson is set to join the Jackson 5 on a world tour, according to her brother Jermaine.

Speaking on a promotional trip to Australia, Jermaine revealed that his sister was looking forward to the jaunt.

"We had a conference call and Janet has agreed to join us on tour,” The Sun newspaper quoted him as saying.

The as yet unannounced shows will mark the first time the Jackson 5 have performed since the death of Michael Jackson last June.

The remaining four members of the group are currently appearing in a reality show, The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty.

It follows brothers Jermaine, Tito, Marlon and Jackie before and after Michael's death.
