Joe Jackson's recent stroke isn't life threatening, and is the third one he has suffered in past years, a family source tells Breaking Celebrity News exclusively.

"Joe is recovering well and everyone is confident he will be back to full health and on his feet again in no time," the source tells Breaking Celebrity News.

Jackson's illegitimate daughter, JohVonnie Jackson, 38, also confirmed that Joe had a "baby stroke (as he calls it) and is in the hospital."

She went on to reveal: "I spoke to him briefly and he sounded like the same ol' daddy."

As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Jackson, 83, is currently being treated at an undisclosed hospital.

Back in July, Katherine Jackson was reported to have suffered a small stroke before a mini-break in Arizona.

Joe is the father and manager of entertainers, including The Jackson 5, LaToya Jackson and Janet Jackson.
