Michael Jackson's father Joe Jackson has been hospitalised in the final stages of terminal cancer.
Jackson, 89, has been battling the disease for some time, but took a turn for the worse "about seven days ago," a source told Us magazine.
His wife, Katherine, has been at his bedside in Las Vegas, as have some of his children and grandkids.
"Everyone in the family, from Paris to Janet, is planning to see him," the source adds. "He can still talk and communicate at this point. He's very weak."
The source added that the talent manager's team allegedly tried "to prevent the family from seeing him" at first because he "didn't want to see them in that condition."
