Joe Jackson

Forty-five years ago today, DJ Kool Herc gave birth to hip-hop at a party in the Bronx.

Marlon Jackson says he's not paying attention to the negative comments about his dad.

The Jackson family patriarch was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, the same cemetery as his son, Michael.

"He wanted to show us, 'I care about you. Even if I have to whip your butt, I care about you.'"

After the death of Joe Jackson, members of his family and other stars issued statements about his life on social media.

The controversial patriarch of the Jacksons, pop music's most successful family, has died at the age of 89 after a battle with cancer.

The Jackson family patriarch tweeted: "I have seen more sunsets than I have left to see."

A tweet from Joe Jackson, who has been hospitalized with terminal cancer, seemed to acknowledge that he has little time left.

'He drove me to be the best that I can,' said the music icon.

The controversial Jackson 5 patriarch is reportedly barring his family from visiting during his "final days."
