Joe Jackson
Father of Michael Jackson, Joe Jackson is dead. He died at 89 early Wednesday.
The
Jackson family patriarch was suffering from terminal pancreatic
cancer,according to media reports.
One
of his sons, Jermaine Jackson said last week that the family was
having a difficult time visiting him or getting information
about his condition.
“No
one knew what was going on — we shouldn’t have to beg, plead and
argue to see our own father, especially at a time like this,” he
lamented at the time. “We have been hurting. We were not being told
where he was and couldn’t get the full picture. Even from the
doctor. My mother was worried sick.”
Days
after the interview was published,there emerged reports that the
family, including Joe’s wife, Katherine, as well as the couple’s
children and grandchildren, had visited him at the hospital.
Joe
himself had reportedly hinted that his days might be numbered
via tweets on June 24, “I have seen more sunsets than I have left
to see. The sun rises when the time comes and whether you like it or
not the sun sets when the time comes.”
His
granddaughter, Paris Jackson later alleged that Joe never used
the account and didn't post the tweet .
Joe
suffered numerous health problems in recent years, including several
strokes in 2013.
