There are reports that Joe Jackson has died.
TMZ is one of several Hollywood news outlets quoting sources close to the family as saying the 89-year old passed away in the hospital in the early hours of Wednesday.
He was admitted to hospital earlier this month with terminal cancer, and in recent days his loved ones have rushed to be at his side.
Jackson managed the music careers of his children, first as members of the Jackson Five.
Later, he would guide Michael and Janet Jackson to lucrative solo endeavours.
Jackson drew fire from his kids over how he treated them, both as a parent and as a talent manager.
There were unproven allegations that Jackson could be abusive.
Jackson had 10 children with his wife of more than 60 years.
