Tito's death was confirmed earlier this week by his sons, TJ, Taj, and Taryll.

Our father was an incredible man who cared about everyone and their well-being," they wrote in a joint statement. They are also musicians, forming the band 3T.
Tito was a part of the Jackson 5, the historic '70s band made up of brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael. While Tito did sing, he was mostly known for playing the guitar and providing background vocals. He's survived by his sons, his brothers Jermaine, Randy, Marlon and Jackie, his sisters Janet, Rebbie and Latoya, and his mother Katherine.
