According to multiple reports, Michael's mother suffered a debilitating stroke in 2018 and has been fighting a few health setbacks in the past few years.
At the time, a source told Radaronline, the most recent stroke landed her in a Los Angeles-area hospital for about a week. A source told the website, “She’s not in good condition and is still struggling to speak."
The Jackson family has been increasingly worried about Katherine's health since the passing of MJ's father, Joe Jackson, several years ago. But, at this point, it seems Katherine is doing Ok and her family is helping her celebrate the milestone birthday!
Happy Birthday, Katherine!
