HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Jermaine Jackson gave his first in-depth interview since his brother Michael died a week ago today from an apparent cardiac arrest.
"There is nothing to be compared to this, 'cause we lost our brother, our hero," he told Matt Lauer on NBC's "Today Show." The world is mourning. We are mourning. The fans are mourning. It is unreal. Unbelievable."
In the interview broadcast from Michael's Neverland Ranch in Los Olivos, Calif., Jermaine said he wishes that he had died instead of the legendary King of Pop.
"He went too soon," said the music icon's older brother. "I wish that it was me. I've always felt that I was his backbone, someone to be there for him. I was there and he was sort of like Moses. The things he couldn't say, I would say them."
