"Michael Jackson&amp;#039;s father Joe Jackson has suffered a mild stroke. The 83-year-old is currently being treated in a Las Vegas hospital and is expected to be discharged on Friday. A spokeswoman confirmed that he went to the hospital late Wednesday night after he had trouble standing up and walking. The stroke is similar to two others he has suffered in the past five years and he is &amp;quot;in very good spirits&amp;quot;, a source told CNN. Wife Katherine Jackson is said to be on her way to Las Vegas to be with him. Earlier this year, Joe dropped his wrongful death lawsuit against Dr Conrad Murray. Murray was convicted in November 2011 for his involvement in Michael Jackson&amp;#039;s death, and is currently serving a four-year sentence in jail.
