Michael Jackson has stayed away from the funeral of an ex-Jackson Five drummer.
The Thriller hitmaker, along with sister Janet, did not attend the funeral service for Johnny Jackson (no relation), who played with the Jackson Five for fifteen years. However, Marlon, Jermaine, Tito and Jackie Jackson did attend.
Randy Jackson, who is the youngest of the Jackson siblings, said Jackson "had a lively way of living. He made touring fun [and] enjoyed every moment," he added. "There was never a dull moment, with jokes and a lot of laughs."
