Tito says: “The UK was a very special place to my brother Michael and I’m so excited to be able to pay my respects to his fans there. To be able to do this while supporting our dear friend Gladys is a complete blessing. Not many people know this, but it was actually Gladys who introduced my brothers and I to Berry Gordy which led to us signing to Motown Records and the rest, as they say, is history.”

“Wasn’t Michael great? Definitely, definitely. We all have a little blues in our lives. I definitely have the
blues, having lost so much in my life and now my brother.”
