We don’t know how much time Joe has left — doctors have talked to the family — but our sources say the cancer cannot be treated.
Michael Jackson and other members of the family throughout the years have revealed that the elder Jackson was abusive during his time managing the Jackson 5.
We’ll leave it at that.
