KING: All right. How -- how are you all doing?It's five months.Does it seem like five months, Marlon?MARLON JACKSON: No, it doesn't seem like five months. And the thing about it is that I don't -- I think, for myself -- and I can only speak for myself -- I'm learning to deal with my brother's passing. And every day I say to myself, I can't believe that my brother is not here.KING: Where were you when he died?MARLON JACKSON: I actually was in Georgia when he had passed.KING: And they had phoned you?MARLON JACKSON: Actually, no. Actually, I got a phone call from a friend of mine who said, is your brother all right?I said, what are you talking about?He was rushed to the hospital.As I was calling my brothers, calling my mom, my daughter down stairs said, dad, Uncle Michael is dead.KING: That had to be unbelievable, right?MARLON JACKSON: That was unbelievable.KING: Where were you, Tito?TITO JACKSON: Actually, I was at home doing some work. And one of my sons had called me and asked me was it true what we're hearing about Uncle Michael?So I said, what is it that you're hearing?He said that they just rushed him to the hospital. So I immediately tried to tune into CNN Headline News and had learned that -- on my way -- I called my mom and she said, you guys better get down there.So on the way there, Janet had called me and said, Tito, are you driving?I said, yes I am. She said pull over. And when she said that, I knew something was drastically wrong. And I pulled over and she broke the bad news to me.KING: Jackie, how did you learn?JACKIE JACKSON, JACKSON 5: Well, I was at the Venetian Hotel with Jermaine's two kids shopping. And I was just looking at a monitor where Michael shops and buys all his luggage and things like that and souvenirs. And we were just looking at it. And all of a sudden, someone passing said, Michael Jackson died. Someone passing -- saying that passed me. And I said, no way.So I walked outside and I got a phone call from my mom. She told me that it was true.KING: And, Jermaine, I know we've asked you before, but just for the benefit for those who didn't see it, where were you?JERMAINE JACKSON: Well, my first -- I was on the other side of Pasadena. My first phone call was -- was you guys. And I...KING: You found out from CNN?JERMAINE JACKSON: I found out from CNN. And I just said, I'm going to call my mother right -- right away. So I called my mother. She said she was on her way to the hospital. Within 45 minutes, past, Janet -- I spoke to Janet and I spoke to our attorney, Joel Katz. And the next thing I knew, I called my mother back and she -- just to hear her voice. She was at the hospital. She said, he's dead. And there was just a horrible tone in her voice.
