Just one of them needs persuading...

Rumours of a Jackson 5 reunion show for 2008 have been sparked by a concert promoter.

Leonard Rowe promoted Michael Jackson’s ’Off The Wall’ tour the late 70s/early 80s.

He has now met with the Jacksons to discuss the possibility of a reunion tour in 2008.

Rowe told Access Atlanta: "His brothers are ready. Janet is ready. But the motor of that car that makes the car run, isn't just yet.

Rowe added: "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."

The last Jackson 5 studio album was 1989's ’2300 Jackson Street’.
