Even more than a decade after Michael’s passing, Tito continued to feel his loss deeply. In August 2024, he said, ” The world was not kind to Michael at all. I don’t know why. I would always say if we didn’t have him, we sure would miss him. His death was such a major tragedy.”

Tito, who adored Michael, added, “The world definitely missed out on a lot of goodness from him, because he wasn’t just a musician or an artist, he was a loving person. He loved to give.” When it came to celebrating his brother, Tito often encouraged fans to come together and enjoy music.

He firmly believed Michael still reigned as the King of Pop, with his timeless music ensuring his legacy endures. Tito was confident that Michael’s influence would remain immortal, continuing to inspire generations.

Tito always emphasized the love and positivity that flowed through his music, distancing it from negative themes like profanity or disrespect.

He believed music could uplift and inspire, and he consistently supported projects created by his family, embodying these values in his work and presence.
