This video features clips from Jermaine Jackson’s interview with Matt Lauer from the Today Show on Michael Jackson’s death. This is the first interview with any of the Jackson family since the tragic event.

It is always painful to lose a sibling, but to lose a sibling who is younger than you just seems to go against the natural order of the world.

Jermaine Jackson’s sweet sentiment that he wished it was him may be shocking to some, but I think it is completely understandable to want to take the place of someone you love.

I am glad that he is to a point where he is able to talk about it, even if for a little while.
