As reported by TMZ, Joe Jackson — the patriarch of the legendary Jackson can — has passed away at 89. He was already hospitalized with terminal pancreatic cancer and had been battling illnesses — including a stroke and multiple heart attacks for the past few years.
Needless to say, Jackson’s life and how he raised his children is polarizing: nonetheless, he created stars out of his 10 children with wife Katherine — especially Michael (who passed away tragically 9 years ago) and Janet, who’s still seen as one of the top Pop star today.
His management made an official announcement via Jackson’s official website, which you can read in full here. R.I.P.
