Janet Jackson is desperate for her brothers to have a Jackson Five reunion because she is their "biggest fan."

Janet wants Tito, Marlon, Jackie, Jermaine and Michael to reunite for a world tour, insisting they still have "so much to give."

She said: "I really don't know if the tour would happen. I hope it happens. I would love for it to happen. I'm probably my brothers' biggest fan. I think it would be great if they did.

"They're so loved and definitely missed and there's so much history there, musically speaking - there's so much that they have to give. There's so much youth still there."

Janet also revealed her brothers have been inspired by the "dinosaur" Rolling Stones who have continued touring into their 60s.

She added to Hong Kong's Prestige magazine: "I think about how Mick Jagger is 65 million years old, like a dinosaur or something, all of them - The Rolling Stones - and I look at my brothers and none of them look their age.

"It's not that they're old, they just still don't look their age and it really trips me out. And I hope they do stage a world tour. They still love their music."

The Jackson Five - Tito, Marlon, Jackie, Jermaine and Michael - later became The Jacksons after younger brother Randy joined.

The band's last tour was in 1984.
