It is believed that his
daughters, Robbie and Joh’Vonnie, along with granddaughter Yashi Brown, visited
him in Las Vegas, Nevada on Tuesday.
Joe Jackson is on his
deathbed.
Michael Jackson's father is
at the end stages of his battle with terminal cancer, and his family has been
rushing to see him at the hospital, according to TMZ.
After reportedly having
some trouble getting in contact with the 89-year-old, the Jackson patriarch's
family — including his wife Katherine and some of his children and
grandchildren — have recently been at his bedside.
It's unclear how much time
the Jackson Five architect has left, but doctors say say the cancer can't be
treated.
Jermaine Jackson told
DailyMail.com that Joe "doesn't have long" and his family just wants
to be with him during his "final days."
Doctors have apparently
spoken to the family. It comes after his son Jermaine told Dailymail.com that
the people around the father-of-eleven have prevented the family, including his
wife Katherine, from seeing him. He said: ‘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. 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. ‘He’s very, very frail, he doesn’t have long. The family needs to be by
his bedside – that’s our only intention in his final days.
‘It’s what any family would
want, but some people around him think they know better…and they don’t.’
According to the Mail, the musician’s sons and daughters were in heated
discussions about their father for four days.
It was only following an
emergency Jackson family meeting, in which they pleaded with the senior
Jackson’s manager, Charles Coupet, that the family were able to see him on
Tuesday night.
Though the family is
distraught by the lack of information surrounding him, it appears Joe, 89, had
given verbal instructions preventing visitors and family members from seeing
him or his medical records.
