Joe Jackson, the family patriarch best known for handling the careers of his kids after he helped launched The Jackson 5, was reportedly honored in a private ceremony at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale. On Monday afternoon, his services were held in the same cemetery where his late son, Michael Jackson, was laid to rest.
The ceremony was attended by Joe’s wife Katherine, his children – including daughter Janet Jackson – and his grandchildren. According to TMZ, a public service is expected to be held over the next coming days.
The retired talent manager tragically passed away in Las Vegas, Nevada following a battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He was 89.
