Michael Jackson pulls out of Jackson Five reunion

'King Of Pop' rejects brother's tour and album plans

Just a day after Jermaine Jackson announced that The Jackson Five would reunite to record new material and tour in 2009, brother Michael has declared he will not be taking part.

The singer issued a statement declaring he would not be involved.

"My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we've certainly shared many great experiences, but at this time I have no plans to record or tour with them," he wrote.

He added: "I am now in the studio developing new and exciting projects that I look forward to sharing with my fans in concert soon."
