ILOSM family let’s send some prayers up for Joe Jackson right now. Word is spreading that he’s in the hospital, with his family by his side, as he fights to get his health back on track. We haven’t received any official confirmation directly from the Jackson family as of yet, but this is what has been reported so far:

Via TMZ: Joe Jackson is in an L.A. hospital after his health took a turn for the worse during a routine checkup. Sources close to the family tell TMZ Joe was scheduled for some tests with his personal doctor Friday. However, Joe became weak during the tests and struck a high fever. We’re told that’s when his doc admitted Joe to the hospital … where he’s been ever since. We’re told 87-year-old Joe still has a high fever, and docs can’t pinpoint exactly what’s wrong.

We’ll keep y’all posted on this one.
