Michael Jackson's father Joe has died aged 89, just days after being hospitalized with stage four pancreatic cancer

Joe Jackson passed away on Wednesday at the age of 89. DailyMail.com revealed last week that the King of Pop's father was on his deathbed and later hospitalized as he battled stage four pancreatic cancer. The 88-year-old has been ailing for months, but took a turn for the worse in the past two weeks according to sources close to the family. But as his famous family clambered to be by the
bedside of the sickly father-of-eleven, Joe's handlers allegedly barred senior family members from visiting him, including his wife Katherine and daughter Rebbie. For four days, his sons and daughters were locked in heated discussions, unsure what was going on and pleading to see him. DailyMail.com has now learned that following an emergency Jackson family meeting and desperate pleas to Joe's manager, Charles Coupet, family members were finally granted access to the octogenarian on Tuesday night
