Tito Jackson has come out and detailed how he and his family confronted Michael Jackson over his drug use - including a surprise raid on Neverland Ranch.

In an exclusive interview with The Mirror, admitted that "I never saw him on drugs. Not once. He deliberately did it away from us. He didn’t want his family to know anything about that part of him."

However, the mounting evidence and rumors were too much to ignore, so Tito, Janet, Rebbie, LaToya, Jackie and Randy Jackson all surprised Michael at his Neverland Ranch to confront him.

"We bust right into the house and he was surprised to see us to say the least.

"We went into one of his private rooms and had a discussion with him. Some of us were crying.

"We kept asking him if it was true what we had heard that he was using drugs.

"He kept denying it. He said we were over-reacting. We also spoke to a doctor and he assured us it was not the situation. He said he was there to make sure Michael was healthy."

After that, Tito said Neverland Ranch to any visitors - including his family - unless staff was notified by phone first.

"In the first few intervention attempts his staff and security would not let us on the property.

"They would block the road into Neverland with other vehicles so we couldn’t drive in, all kinds of crazy things.

"I don’t know whose instructions those were but that’s what happened."

Tito had his own response to LaToya Jackson's insistence that their brother was murdered. "I don’t know whether he was killed or not. But I would say that sometimes he had people around him that were not in his best interests.

"Whether his death was an accident or whether it was deliberate, something has gone on and we need to get to the bottom of it."
