Michael Jackson's Brother Attends Thriller West End Musical Opening

January 22, 2009
Michael Jackson's Brother Attends Thriller West End Musical OpeningMichael Jackson's brother, Tito, attended the opening of a musical about his brother's career in London last night (January 21st).

Thriller – Live features the music from Jackson's solo career, as well as his hits with the Jackson Five.

Tito told reporters outside the Lyric theatre that he was “very excited” to see the show. His sisters, Janet and La Toya - who are both in the Capital - are not thought to have attended.

Producers held a public audition last year to find a boy between 11 and 15 to play Jackson in the musical.

Although the singer is not involved with the production, his music appears courtesy of Sony, which owns Jackson's back-catalogue.

As previously reported, Jackson is currently in Los Angeles working on his comeback.

The singer relocated to the city last month in order to be "where all the action (in the entertainment industry) is“, his spokesman said.
