Joe Jackson has been hospitalised after reportedly suffering a stroke on his 87th birthday.
The showbiz patriarch - whose children include Janet Jackson and the late Michael Jackson - was admitted to Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil, yesterday (26.07.15) after feeling dizzy and losing his vision, TMZ reports.
Joe is believed to be still undergoing tests and his family are trying to decide whether to have him flown back to the U.S. for further treatment.
It is unclear as yet whether his loss of vision is only temporary.
If the music manager - who also suffers from diabetes - has suffered a stroke, it is his fourth.
He previously suffered a mild stroke in November 2012, and was placed under observation at a Las Vegas hospital after complaining of pains in his head and difficulty standing.
Hours before his medical emergency, 49-year-old Janet posted a birthday message to her dad on her Twitter page.
She wrote: "Wishing my Father, @Joe5Jackson a Happy Birthday.
"I want to tell the world, I love and honor you."
Joe's children have previously spoken out about their "abusive" upbringing, but their father insists he is "glad" he was a "tough" parent.
He previously said: "I'm glad I was tough, because look what I came out with. I came out with some kids that everybody loved all over the world. And they treated everybody right.
"There's no such thing as beating a kid. You whip them or punish them over something they did and they will remember that."

Bobbi Kristina Brown has died.
The 22-year-old daughter of Bobby Brown and the late singer Whitney Houston passed away on Sunday (26.07.15) after months of being in a coma.
Her death came almost six months after her partner Nick Gordon found her unconscious in her bathtub at their US home in Roswell, Georgia, back in January.

The source told People magazine: "Her family is right there with her. They sing to her and talk to her. They just want her to feel that they are there by her side. They hold her hand a lot and pray with her too - even if she doesn't know that they are there. In spirit, she knows. They have always tried to be there for her."
Bobbi's death mirrored her mother's who was found dead aged 48, in the bathtub of her Beverly Hilton hotel room in February 2012.

Duran Duran's Roger Taylor says his friend Princess Diana was just an "ordinary" person.
The 66-year-old musician became close to the British royal because she was a fan of the band in the '80s and said that she would often refer to the media storm that followed her - and led to her untimely death in 1997 - as being "crazy".
Roger said: "I spoke to Diana in private at times. I used to see her at a health club we both went to in Chelsea. She thought it was crazy that people with cameras wanted to follow her around taking her photo. She was a very real, very ordinary, person going through something extraordinary. Something similar to what we had been through."
Diana also attended a Duran Duran concert that became the target of an IRA bomb plot.
The 'Under Pressure' singer revealed that finding out about the planned attack on the show - at London's Dominion Theatre in July 1983 - was one of the "scariest moments" of his life.
Speaking to the Mail on Sunday Event magazine, he said: "They wanted to kill Diana and Charles and everybody in the room.
"It was so shocking. We were only made aware of it years later, but it was very frightening."

Kimberly Stewart thinks it's "crazy" that the Kardashians have become the world's most famous family.
The 35-year-old daughter of rockstar Rod Stewart attended the renowned Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, California, with two of the stars and is surprised but impressed that the illustrious clan have become social media icons.
Kimberly said: "I went to school with Kim and Kourtney, and I think it's amazing what they've done. It's crazy to think that they are the most famous family in the world. But every family is different."
The pretty blonde shot to fame in her own eponymously named show in 2010 and is set to rejoin the reality TV scene tonight (27.05.15) on E! in a new fly-on-the wall series - entitled 'Stewarts & Hamiltons' - that will rival 'Keeping up with The Kardashians'.
And Kimberly - who has a three-year-old daughter, Delilah, with former flame and 'Guardians of the Galaxy' actor Benicio del Toro - admits that people will draw similarties between herself and her old school pals.
She told the Sunday Times Style magazine: "We are a large, mixed family, so there will be some comparison."

Keith Richards starts his day with "an early morning joint".
The Rolling Stones rocker has confessed he still regularly smokes cannabis and is pleased more US states are legalising the drug, even though he is unconvinced of its benefits.
He revealed: "I smoke regularly, an early morning joint. Strictly Californian.
"One of the most pleasant things to watch is a map of America [showing States where cannabis is legal ], where it goes, green ... green ... green.
"Whether it's a good thing in the long run, I don't know."
The 71-year-old guitarist gave up heroin in 1978, cocaine in 2006 and eventually claimed he had "given up everything" in 2010, with his most recent comments suggesting he has since been lured back to smoking cannabis.
However, the musician - who is married to model and actress Patti Hansen, 59 - doesn't dabble in any stronger substances.
Asked if he still drinks alcohol, he told MOJO magazine, "I like to keep my hand in," but insisted, "Other than that, I'm pretty straight."
Writing in his 2010 autobiography 'Life', Keith said he believes the secret to his good health is that he was careful not to overdo things when it came to his drug taking.
He wrote: "I'd never put more in to get a little higher. That's where most f**k up.
"It's the greed involved that never really affected me. People think once they've got this high, if they take some more they're going to get a little higher.
"There's no such thing. Especially with cocaine. Maybe that's a measure of control and I'm rare in that respect."
