Michael Jackson’s father, Joseph Jackson, has been hospitalized in Los
Angeles with a bleeding ulcer, his attorney said on Friday.

Joseph Jackson, who turned five of his sons into one of pop music’s biggest
sensations as the Jackson 5, was admitted to a hospital near his home after
suffering what he thought was food poisoning, attorney Debra Opri said.

“Everything is terrific, he’s doing great and the ulcers have been
resolved,” Opri told Reuters. “He’ll be around a lot longer to fight those
good battles.”

Opri said he would likely be released from the hospital in the coming days.
