Michael Jackson’s brother Tito said yesterday he forgives the star’s personal doctor Conrad Murray.
The medic is the prime suspect over the King of Pop’s death at 50 which has been officially declared a homicide.
But Tito told the Mirror he does not hate Dr Murray.
He said: “Have I forgiven him? We are supposed to forgive as humans.”
In an exclusive interview he continued: “I’m not a hater or anything like that. I’m just going to take things one moment at a time.
“I’m supposed to forgive. We are supposed to forgive. That’s just my belief.
“So yes, I forgive. It’s what God said. You’re supposed to forgive. It’s a religious thing.”
Jackson died from an overdose of the powerful anaesthetic propofol.
Dr Murray admitted administering a dose to the star shortly before his employer’s death at his Bel Air home.
Sources say police are preparing to charge Dr Murray in the coming months.
Grieving Tito, 55, has previously accused Dr Murray of having some responsibility in his brother’s death.
In July he told the Mirror: “My opinion is that he panicked when my brother didn’t wake up.
“I think that the doctor probably figured he was in trouble and he tried to revive Michael.
“He couldn’t bring him back. I don’t know what the time lapse was between the doctor finding him and when he called paramedics.
“But I believe if he had immediately called for help my brother would still be alive today.”
Tito, in the UK to perform a series of concerts, yesterday said he will never get over losing his younger brother.
He told the Mirror: “I loved my brother dearly and I miss him every moment he is not around. It’s just something that you feel all the time. You never get over that tragedy.”
He revealed Jackson’s eldest children Prince and Paris started home-schooling this week in Los Angeles.
And he said the entire family have grown closer since ***** died on June 25.
“The family love is there and we are all there to support each other during this hard time,” he said.
“That’s what’s important. “The kids are doing very well. My mum is doing a good job with them. They are happy with their cousins, playing and swimming.
“They are slowly getting back to normal. But they still miss their dad.”
Tito said detectives recently asked his family to keep quiet about the case.
He revealed: “The police said not to talk about anything to do with the investigation.
It’s still ongoing and they don’t want to tip their hand in any way. We must be very tight-lipped.”
Tito arrived in London on Monday for his first solo UK dates starting next month.
He will be supporting Gladys Knight on her Midnight Train To Love farewell tour.
Tito recalled it was soul legend Gladys who talked Motown boss Berry Gordy into signing the Jackson 5.
He said: “We were opening the show for her back in 1967 or 1968.
“She told Berry about us kids but he was not interested because he already had a little guy called Stevie Wonder on his books.”
“She kept on and on at him until finally he decided to have us come in and audition.
“We went to his house in Detroit where he was throwing a party for Diana Ross.
“We had to perform there in front of Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, Diana Ross, the Four Tops and the Temptations. Thankfully they enjoyed it. We got signed up.”
Tito will do some Jackson 5 numbers during the tour but he has ruled out singing any of his late brother’s solo hits.
He said: “Nobody can perform a Michael Jackson song like Michael. I won’t try.”
Tito added: “It’s a big thrill to tour in the UK. It’s a beautiful place. I love the grey and wet weather. It never rains in LA.”
He will be backed by his 14-piece band The Funk Brothers at the shows.No
