WASHINGTON - Michael Jackson’s elder brother Jermaine is taking the reins of keeping the superstar’s memories alive, and has thus vowed to spread the King of Pop’s message all his life.

The ‘Thriller’ superstar passed away on June 25, plunging his family, friends and millions of fans worldwide into mourning.

And Jermaine has revealed that he is still coping with the loss of his sibling’s sudden death.

But he has taken a pledge to honour Michael by making the public aware of the charity and humanitarian work he had carried out during his life.

“The tragedy of my brother’s death is still with me. But in his death, I have found a mission for my life. My existence is now dedicated to spreading Michael’s message. Michael had a unique place in the world. He not only did good, but taught others how to do the same. This only magnifies his loss to the world,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying in a new blog entry.

“I want to make people aware of the humanitarian side of Michael. I want to show them how his true emphasis wasn’t music, or performing; it was improving the world. Understand this, and you begin to understand the essence of who my brother was.

“Michael wanted to help people see the problems that are destroying our world… He wanted to use every part of himself to show us what we are capable of becoming. His goal was to demonstrate to people that if we all just try to make world a better place, it will be,” he added. (ANI)
