Michael’s 1982 album “Thriller” made things even more uncomfortable for the Jackson 5, as the group sat in the shadow of young Michael’s success. “Thriller” eventually became the best-selling album of all time, and sold over 66 million copies worldwide.

However, the brothers decided to embark on a tour together as the Jackson 5. This Victory Tour was to be a three-month-long extravaganza with 55 individual dates. Above, the brothers (along with actor Emmanuel Lewis) announce the upcoming tour.
