Joe Jackson’s confirmation comes in the wake of controversy over Bhatti’s paternity, who is being touted as the singer’s secret love child, Sun online reported. “I knew Michael had another son, yes, I did,” Joe said.
“He looks like a Jackson, he acts like a Jackson and he can dance like a Jackson. This boy’s a fantastic dancer, as a matter of fact, he teaches dance,” Joe added. Jackson, who died on June 25 is said to have told pals in 2004 that Norwegian Bhatti was his son from a one-night stand. Bhatti, 25, who attended Jackson’s memorial, has been staying with the singer’s family ever since fuelling speculations.
