The patriarch of the Jackson family, Joseph "Joe" Jackson, has suffered a stroke. Fox411’s Pop Tarts column has confirmed that the legendary manager, infamous for the careers of his sons the Jackson 5 (and, of course, Michael), has been taken to hospital and is in a "serious" condition.

According to a close source, Joe is in a "serious condition," and "has been struggling with his health a lot over the past three or four months." The source adds that luckily "Joe was taken immediately to the hospital as he was with a couple of people at the time."

He is believed to be receiving treatment in a hospital in his home city of Las Vegas. Representatives for his wife Katherine and daughter Janet were unavailable for comment. Do you know someone who has suffered a stroke?

    They gave me a long ambulance ride and figured I'd had one, but I woke up in a major hospital feeling pretty fine. That was a couple of years ago, and I've had no ill effects and have pretty much just chalked it all off to stress. That was all back when I was about 82.

    My body and I have decided to just push on and lie about our age.

    Mr Jackson, I pray you will come to know Jesus as Savior and Lord, before your last breath. He's patiently waiting. Don't make Him wait to long. You wouldn't like the end result. Your religion can't save. Jesus can.

    My grandmother had a stroke about 5 or 6 years ago. Luckily she was already in the hospital for a kidney infection when it happened, so the doctor was able to administer the medicine that stops the stroke from progressing by dissolving the blood clot. It still had affects on her though, her speech is effected the most. She can't speak properly, has trouble remembering words, etc. It's frustrating for her & the rest of our family as well. But we realize how fortunate she really is and are thankful she is still able to live a mostly full life.

    I know several people who have had a stroke,they just don't have access togood healthcare, like Mr. Jackson. I hope he pulls through though.May the Jackson's family higher power bless them dduring this trying time.
  • heck 2012/12/02 01:30:52

    yeah. It was another relative of Michael Jacksons. I think they all just can't believe what happened to Jack after he had his nose amputated. I don't know Michael Jackson's family but I think a lot of people have cerebral incidents but don't know they are strokes. I've got a strokey family.
