Michael Jackson has denied he is to play a role in next year's Jackson 5 reunion tour.

"My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we've certainly shared many great experiences, but at this time I have no plans to record or tour with them," he said in statement released earlier today.

He then added: "I am now in the studio developing new and exciting projects that I look forward to sharing with my fans in concert soon,"

Jermaine Jackson told the Australian Associated Press on Wednesday that all the original band members were back together again and were planning on recording new material. "It's going to be a family affair," he added before revealing that sister Janet was slated to open for the quintet.
