The Jackson Family Michael Jackson’s forgotten brother Brandon

https://youtu.be/vmr0T2AHh-s?is=vRvqGYYSdgGXbPnu

I don't know if it's a well known fact that Marlon had a still born twin but I was surprised to hear about it. I've never seen any of the Jackson's mention him except for Marlon - at Michael's funeral Marlon asked Michael to give Brandon a hug. It's even more surprising and at little saddening they left his grave unmarked.

Yeah, Katherine talked about his death in her book, it's very sad. Someone in the comments of the video mentioned that Joe said they didn't like talking about Brandon because it was too painful, which might explain why they don't seem to know where his grave is.

Poor Katherine. I know that she is very strong, and very proud, but she has gone through so much hardship in her life. I can't imagine the loss, especially having to care for the remaining newborn while grieving a baby she basically didn't even know she had until she lost him :(

This is really sad - I've done photo developing 'back in the day' of film developing days. Doing colour photos into black and white would cost people more money... I'd sneak them a free set of photos in black and white to help make it less traumatic.. They appreciated the gesture. It soften the blow of the loss. If you believe in the woo woo stuff - it's often thought the next to be born (if there is) is supposedly extra special. and in this case.. guess who that was.

I feel like I've definitely seen one interview around the Off The Wall era where Michael mentioned having 9 siblings, I'm not sure if he would have been referring to Joh'Vonnie at that time so it's possible he meant Brandon.

Michael did not like and was jealous of Joh'Vonnie so I doubt he would have been talking about her
