Randy Jackson hospitalised
Randy Jackson has been hospitalised with a suspected mild heart attack. The 48-year-old singer – who is the brother of late ‘Thriller’ star Michael Jackson – was taken to the Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena yesterday (15.06.10) and is said to be awaiting test results.
A source told the Mail Online: “It appears Randy has had a mild heart attack but he is OK.
“He was joking around with his father and he is feeling pretty good all things considered. He’s been under a tremendous amount of stress lately but Randy’s a fighter. He’ll pull through.”
Randy is believed to have been working on arrangements for a memorial service for his late brother Michael – who died of acute Propofol intoxication in June last year.
On Monday (14.06.10), Randy attended a Los Angeles courthouse with family including sister Janet Jackson for a hearing into the involuntary manslaughter case against Dr. Conrad Murray, the man accused of being involved in the ‘Billie Jean’ hitmaker’s death.
The star has also been playing a key role in arranging plans to allow fans to enter Forest Lawn Memorial Park – where Michael is buried – to pay tribute to the King of Pop on the anniversary of his death later this month.
