VIDEO + Story - The Jackson Brothers Share Their Heartbreak

Story Below Video / Please Scroll

Michael Jackson is gone, and the brothers who stood by him in life and as pallbearers when he was finally laid to rest are faced with the chilling reality that he is indeed dead. But, does he speak to them from the grave?

"It's hard for me to sleep because I think about him constantly, all the time," Jackie Jackson exclusively tells our own Kevin Frazier. "Sometimes I wake up with tears in my eyes because he meant so much to the world and also to me as a brother. I just miss him dearly, so much and I just can't believe he is not here."

Kevin was with three of the Jackson brothers as they assembled for a happy moment -- a photo shoot for their upcoming A&E reality series and a possible album cover. But behind it all, Marlon, Tito and Jackie share great sadness. The last time they saw Michael was at their parents' 60th anniversary party, just weeks before he died.

"I asked him, 'How's it going?' And he said, 'It's going to be incredible,'" says Jackie about his brother's now-cancelled London concerts. "He couldn't wait for us to see the show. He wouldn't tell us anything about it. He just wanted us to see it from our own eyes."

"I told him that I loved him and he told me that he loved me more," says Tito. "We gave each other a hug and that whole thing. So, I was very happy that I had the opportunity to see him at that moment. And that's the last time I saw my brother."

"What's comforting for me is that I think he is at a better place for himself," says Marlon. "And a piece of him will live forever within me. So, that's my peace."

Tomorrow on ET, could any of the brothers have prevented Michael's death? Watch for more exclusives with the Jackson brothers!
