Michael Jackson's father has reportedly been cut-off from the rest of his family.

Sources revealed that the 86-year-old father of the King of Pop, Joe Jackson, who managed the family, is frail and alone as none of his family members take out time to as much as ask about his well-being, the New York Post reported.

Jackson had opened up about his lonely life in a recent post whether he revealed that only two of his family members had come to see him at the hospital while he suffered four strokes last year.

However, the music manager, who is considered the architect of the Jackson Five, was proud to see his daughter Janet by his side and didn't regret the way he brought up his kids as he wanted them to become strong.

It is believed that the 'Beat It' singer had undergone several plastic surgeries in a desperate effort to undo his resemblance to his father, who he abhorred, and La Toya Jackson had previously claimed that her father beat his children and molested her and sister Rebbie.
