The patriarch of the Jackson family, Joe Jackson, has the the social media-verse deeply concerned about him. The 89 year old posted a video message online for his 15 year old grandson, Blanket, who now goes by the name, Bigi. Although Mr. Jackson’s message to his grandson was heartfelt, there were several reasons for the concern regarding his mental state and health.
(Video) Dazed Video Message Directed To Wrong Grandchild
One thing that was immediately noticeable, was his very dazed look, as well as his confusion. While smiling and speaking into the camera, Joe directed his message to Bigi, regarding a bike accident. That’s when it became clear that he was talking about the wrong grandson. It was Michael Jackson’s eldest child, 19 year old, Prince, who actually had the motorbike accident on November 2, 2017. Here is what Joe said though:
“Hello, Blanket! This is Joe Jackson. … Your health is… I don’t know what. You’re like your father. Now I understand why your father had you wear masks all the time ’cause news people was bothering him so much and he tried to disguise you as much as possible. But I want you to stay healthy and stay off those bikes!”
Joe also told Blanket to his “brothers I said hello” although Blanket has one brother and one sister, Paris Jackson (19):
“Don’t ride, now. … But anyway, tell your brothers I said hello and stay clean and healthy. And see a lot of movies if you can, good movies of course. And be like me, be tough, be tough in a good way. You’ll live a long time. Above all, I love you all. Take care, man, you be good. I’ll see you next time I come to LA. Okay? Adios.”

Many of y’all may recall when we recently reported that Prince Jackson, who is an avid motorbike rider, fell off his bike, while riding in the rain in Los Angeles. No other vehicles were involved in the accident and he seemed to have just lost control on the wet pavement. He was transported to a L.A. hospital and posted a photo on Twitter of the ordeal. Thankfully, Prince’s injuries were nothing more than a few bruises and he went to class at LMU that same day.

As you can see, from Joe Jackson’s get well message though, he seems to think it was 15 year old Blanket who was in the accident instead. He also shared an updated photo of he and Blanket with his message.
Now, we all know Joe is up in age, so it’s not a shock if his memory isn’t as sharp these days, that’s to be expected. That still doesn’t lessen the genuine concern many have about the status of his health, especially after seeing the dazed state of mind he seems to be in right now.
The brighter side of things is that, as usual, Mr. Jackson’s suit and signature fedora are just as sharp as they ever were. That shows that even though he may be going through some age related issues right now, he’s still Joe Jackson- the man responsible for molding the most powerful musical family in the game. And of course we must also salute his devoted wife, Katherine Jackson (87), as well, for being ‘glue’ that’s held the Jackson family together. Sending love, light and positive energy to Joe Jackson at this time.
