Joe Jackson’s Stroke Rumored To Be Caused By Viagra And Booze
He has since been released from the hospital and is recovering in Sao Paulo.
As Radar previously reported, the 85-year-old Jackson family patriarch suffered a serious health scare in Brazil when he had a series of heart attacks followed by a massive stroke.
The 87-year-old retired music manager is now resting at an apartment in the city and is expected to return to the United States on Saturday (08.08.15) accompanied by his daughter Janet and son Jermaine who jetted out to be by his bedside, according to New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column. The spokesperson noted doctors found a problem with his eye after an artery had burst behind it. Joe was kept in for further tests and it was during this time that his heart stopped for ten seconds before he was revived. He flew into Brazil two weeks ago for the celebration worth $200,000, another report from the news outlet said.
Jackson’s representative Charles Coupet, denied the Viagra reports.
The hospital issued a statement saying that Jackson was admitted on Sunday afternoon, July 26, because of an irregular heartbeat aside from waking up feeling dizzy and blind, making him miss his birthday party, Daily Mail wrote. Two days later, he was once again spotted with the “attractive redhead” and other ladies, and was rumored to have stayed out until the wee hours of the morning.
“It was too much for him and he suffered a stroke, ‘ continued O Diario de Sao Paulo, adding that his entourage was left “shocked” by the incident”. After visiting numerous bars and restaurants, he took the “three little blue pills” for erectile dysfunction. Although the outlook looked grim for the elderly father of the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, his grandson Prince chose to hop on a yacht in Miami rather than be there for his dying grandfather.
