Michael Jackson’s brother Tito has pulled out of the UK tour of Thriller Live.

He will be replaced by Jeffrey Daniels from pop group Shalamar, who will now take on the role of MC in the show. Daniels claims to have originated the Moonwalk dance and taught the routine to Michael Jackson.

Tito Jackson commented: “It pains me to let down the fans who I love dearly, but due to unforeseen family circumstances, I am unable to come to the UK at this time. I wish the cast, crew and everyone involved with Thriller Live the best of luck with the tour.”
