The Jacksons have kept the details of their family service private – but now intimate scenes showing them saying goodbye to the King of Pop are to be shown as part of the family's new reality TV show, according to reports.


In the footage, Janet, dressed in black and clearly struggling with emotion, is seen being shown to her chair while Michael's parents Katherine and Joe look on anxiously.


The rest of the family is also seen gathering around as the music legend’s coffin is brought in for them to pay their final respects.


The emotional moments play a pivotal role in The Jack5ons: A Family Dynasty, the new reality show following the four surviving members of The Jackson 5, Jermaine, Tito, Jackie and Marlon.


Filming for the show started before Jackson’s death in June and was meant to follow the brothers as they planned a comeback to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the band.


But the pop icon died as they were finishing the first episode.


The brothers are shown talking about their loss at the start of episode two – with Jermaine and Jackie both breaking down in tears.


'It is very hard for me,' Jackie said, as he recalled getting the news. 'I called my mum, she told me it was true. She was screaming on the phone, hollering, crying.'


Jermaine added: 'Michael is a bright light who has been shining our whole lives. We don't feel the light has been turned off – we just feel that light is brighter.'



Haven't we seen the footage they are refering to in this interview?

I certainly did.  That is not new?  What are they talking about?  And who's light is Jermaine speaking of?  Michael's? or his after Michael?  With him it sometimes is hard to distinguish.  His boundaries tend to get blurred along the conversational lines.

Yes, we've seen this. Episode 2 aired last Sunday, showing that footage, immediately following Episode 1 (there were 2 episodes back to back).

Something to worry about? Do you think they will show how they bring him into the mausoleum?
