Jermaine Jackson took to Twitter tonight to give an update on his father’s condition and to thank the nurses and doctors in Sao Paolo for saving his life. Joseph Jackson remains hospitalized following a stroke and heart attack on his 87th birthday. Too much celebrating, Joe. Say it ain’t so!
Thank you for the love & prayers for our father. Following a heart procedure, he remains in hospital where he's doing 'extremely well'.

Doctors say cardiac arrest followed a mini-stroke. Thankfully, brain scans show it's 'not as bad as first feared'.

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the wonderful surgeons, doctors and nurses at the Albert Einstein hospital in Sao Paulo.
