Joe Jackson, father of the late pop superstar Michael Jackson, died early Wednesday at age 89, TMZ reports. He was hospitalized this month with terminal cancer and previously suffered a stroke and three heart attacks. Joe Jackson managed the Jackson 5, and later the solo careers of Michael and Janet Jackson. His children, including Michael, have accused him of abuse, but Jackson said his tactics made them successful. He had 10 children with his wife, Katherine.
