Joe Jackson, the iron-willed father/manager of the late Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5, is hospitalized in Las Vegas with terminal cancer, according to media reports.
Variety and TMZ, citing unnamed sources, reported Jackson, 89, is dying and that some members of his family — he’s the father of 10 surviving children — have visited him at the hospital, including wife Katherine, 88, two daughters and one grandchild.
USA TODAY reached out to Jackson’s personal assistant, Charles Coupet, and to various lawyers and publicists who have represented members of the Jackson family over the years.
Only publicist Ken Sunshine, who represents superstar daughter Janet Jackson, 52, responded, saying she declined to comment.
