Janet Jackson's manager has just released the following statement on Jan's behalf following the sudden death of her older brother Michael earlier today.
Janet Jackson is grief stricken and devastated at the sudden loss of her brother. She is in pre-production for a movie and is flying immediately to California to be with her family.
Janet is currently working on Tyler Perry's latest film "Why Did I Get Married Too", as well as her new album with long time collaborators Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.
It's well known that Michael & Janet were the closest to one another out of all the Jackson siblings, being inseparable as children, and collaborating together on their 1995 hit "Scream."
This is so sad for Jan. I remember in one of the biographies that I have about Janet, it has this story were the interviewer went to speak to Michael when he was just getting big, and he bought Janet along to the interview even though she was still a kid then. He made the interviewer ask Jan the questions, then she had to rely the message to Michael, then he would tell her his answer and she would tell the interviewer! Supposedly it was because he kept being asked all these questions he didn't like, so if he did it through his sister it was easier to avoid answering things he didn't want and would throw the journalist off. Anyways my point was they were so close and shared many funny little things like that, and I remember reading that she used to follow him around the house all the time and look up to him when they were living together as children. They had their ups and downs over the years but she must really be feeling inconsolable at this point.
