Michael Jackson‘s father, Joe Jackson was reportedly rushed to a Los Angeles hospital on Friday, May 13 after feeling weak during routine check-up with his doctor.
According to TMZ, the 87-year-old got a high fever while having tests done, but doctors aren’t sure what is wrong with him.
Joe’s son Jermaine Jackson – brother of the late ‘king of pop’ Michael, who died in 2009 aged 50 – told TMZ:
My father is doing much better. We were all worried but he’s doing much better, he’s much healthier and we’re very happy about that.
He got weak and they rushed him … he was doing a normal check-up and he got weak and they admitted him.
Last August, Joe was hospitalised in Brazil, where he
was celebrating his 87th birthday, after suffering a
stroke and three heart attacks.
He was reported to have taken three Viagra pills at the time.
Jermaine added: ‘He’s much better. All of his vital signs are great and we’re very happy.
He’s just tired. He’s 87. We’re just trying to hold onto
him as much as we can.’
