Joe Jackson
It has been reported that Michael’s Jackson’s dad has died!
According to TMZ, family sources revealed that Joe Jackson, the
patriarch of the Jackson family passed away at 3:30 AM Wednesday in L.A.
Joe was hospitalized in June with terminal cancer. His family had
been flocking to his bedside since. His wife, Katherine, had been at his
bedside as were some of Joe’s children and grandchildren.
Joe had been battling health problems for some time now. He was
hospitalized back in 2016 after coming down with a high fever. But, he
bounced back not long after and was seen partying in Vegas. His health
was also fragile after a stroke and 3 heart attacks back in 2015.
Doctors implanted a pacemaker.
Joe may have been the most successful parent managing his children
in the history of music. He, with a little help from Diana Ross,
engineered the careers of The Jackson 5, and then Michael and Janet
Jackson as solo artists.
The elder Jackson took a lot of heat from Michael and his siblings
for abusing parenting and management practices, including physical
brutality. Joe copped to it but, far from apologizing … he said his
methods made his kids successful and kept them out of jail.
Michael’s dad stood by him during his molestation trial. After
Michael’s death, Joe was criticized for trying to make money off his
son’s memory.
Joe had 10 kids with Katherine, his wife of more than 60 years. The
2 did not live together and had a strained relationship for the last
years of his life, but they frequently interacted.
Joe was 89.
