Jackson 5 to reform?
TheBoyDeadly by TheBoyDeadly November 15th, 2007

If we were amateur psychologists, DiS’d be pleased that Michael Jackson is thinking about reforming the Jackson 5 as it might be just the chance he needs to finally reclaim his childhood and lay it to rest. But we’re not, music is our game and so we’re just glad because the Jackson 5 were fucking fantastic.

According to the act’s promoter, Leonard Rowe, everyone’s in bar the money man and he’s definitely thinking on it.

"His brothers are ready. Janet is ready. But the motor of that car that makes the car run, isn't just yet,” Rowe – who also promoted Jackson’s Off The Wall tour way back when - told Access Atlanta.

"In April of this year, I flew out to Las Vegas and met with them all and he told me, 'Let's look at '08.'

"We wanted to go this year, but (Michael) said it would take a lot of preparation. He didn't say no."

He didn’t say no. We're not sure what Janet's got to do with it, but whatever, now that MBV’ve caved in, we’re gonna need some more peers to pressure.
