Fan Casting Joe Jackson in The King Of Pop

Joe Jackson died on June 27, 2018, at age 89, becoming the only person in Michael Jackson’s immediate family who has passed in the decade since the singer’s death. A demanding and fearsome patriarch who guided his son’s career through The Jackson 5 and early solo years, Joe Jackson had a difficult relationship with his son. He was omitted from his son’s will and waged a fruitless legal battle seeking compensation. He was buried in the same cemetery as his son.
