Joe Jackson is living life a bit too much to the fullest.
The 87-year-old patriarch of the Jackson family flew to Brazil for a two-week ‘pleasure trip’ which basically means an orgy of the senses–sex, drugs, alcohol.
And according to the Daily Mail it’s that over indulgence which resulted in his three heart attacks and a stroke.
Just hours after his arrival in the country, the Jackson patriarch was spotted dining with a group of ladies including a voluptuous – and much younger – woman at an upscale restaurant. Two days later he hit the town once again with the attractive redhead and other women, and was said to have been out until the early hours. He was ‘feeling unwell’ the following day – July 26 -, according to his representative, and was eventually taken to hospital for what turned to have been a stroke.
It was followed by multiple cardiac arrests – including one where his heart stopped for 10 seconds – that led doctors to fit him with a pacemaker. But the story of how he got there appears to be much more salacious than anyone would imagine. According to a local newspaper, the octogenarian ‘overdid it’ on his second big night out with his lady friends. As they visited a number of bars and restaurants, he is said to have mixed the local cocktail of caipirinha – made with Brazilian sugarcane rum – with other drinks.But the ‘bigger problem’ was that he also had taken ‘three little blue pills’ for erectile dysfunction.
Jackson ended up missing his lavish party, which went ahead on his request. The women accompanying him are dancers who form part of his entourage, local sources said. According to a report, they dance for him to soothe his notoriously explosive temperament – and nothing else. Jackson continues his recovery after being released today from the Albert Einstein Hospital, where superstar daughter Janet is said to have come visit him. His son Jermaine was also present. His two-week trip has been indefinitely extended as doctors monitor his progress.
We wish Joe a speedy recovery and so that he may continue to ‘flourish’ and live out his days as the Black Hugh Hefner. Rumble, Joe.
