Jermaine Jackson has requested and now has been approved to change his surname from Jackson to Jacksun.

The name change became official on Wednesday 20th February after it was approved by the LA County Superior Court judge.

Jermaine has stated the reason for the name change is due to “artistic” purposes. Whatever that means.

Jermaine will now be required to announce the name change numerous times in different publications to make it official.

Rumours are circulating as to the reason for the name change including that it is because of a recent family feud over the care of his late brother Michael’s children.

There have also been reported huge family arguments over Michael’s estate and who gets what but Jermaine insists that the change is purely artistic.

The new Jacksun is currently on tour in Europe with the rest of the remaining members of the Jackson 5.

The tour sees the first time that the four have been on stage together in nearly 30 years and the first since the death of the fifth member Michael.

The foursome will be hitting the UK on the 26th February starting in Birmingham.
