Dragon-Ball-Super
Vegeta's brother is now Officially a Canon character

Dragon Ball Broly introduces-
Broly and Gogeta into the series canon proper, but it also retools and retcons much of what fans know about the origins of the Saiyans, and the characters involved.
One such change is for Vegeta's brother Tarble, who's been confirmed as part of the franchise's official canon in the new film.
Warning spoilers ahead....!
Planet Vegeta's destruction happens in pretty much the same way it always has. Though there's been a few tweaks to how involved Bardock was in the final struggle, Freeza destroys the planet with a Supernova blast. Though the results of the attack are explored in a different way than before.
Young Vegeta, Raditz, and Nappa being shown surviving the attack remains from the original telling of the origin, with one key difference. When Nappa finds out Planet Vegeta has been destroyed by a "meteor," he delivers the news to the young Vegeta. Vegeta is upset that he no longer has the chance to be king, and when Nappa asks if Vegeta's brother Tarble survived, Vegeta responds that he doesn't really care (which coincides with how little Raditz cared about the survival of his brother or parents).
So while Tarble's fate is not confirmed, his mere existence being solidified is a big deal. Vegeta's brother Tarble was originally introduced during the Dragon Ball Z special Yo! Son Goku and his Friends Return!! as a low-level Saiyan who was sent away buy King Vegeta for being too weak to be a warrior. He seeks some help from Vegeta against a deadly duo, and hasn't been really mentioned or seen since.
Though there was a passing mention of him as a possible sixth Saiyan for the Super Saiyan God ritual in Battle of Gods, his mention here confirms both his existence in the official series canon (even after its retcons) along with how little Vegeta cares that he even has a brother. It doesn't confirm that a Tarble appearance is due later down the line, but it doesn't rule it out either.
