Joe Jackson -- the patriarch of the Jackson family -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

Family sources tell TMZ, Joe passed away at 3:30 AM Wednesday in L.A.

We broke the story ... Joe was hospitalized in June with terminal cancer. His family had been flocking to his bedside since. His wife, Katherine, had been at his bedside as were some of Joe's children and grandchildren.

Joe had been battling health problems for some time now. He was hospitalized back in 2016 after coming down with a high fever. But, he bounced back not long after and was seen partying in Vegas. His health was also fragile after a stroke and 3 heart attacks back in 2015. Doctors implanted a pacemaker.

Not to be confused with David Ian “Joe” Jackson, who is still alive.

If it wasn’t for his kids, he wouldn’t have had 2 nickels to rub together.

Beat the crap out of his sons to get them to perform correctly. Good riddance.

Saw Joe in a Albany, NY area "club" back in the early 80's, sat front row table 3 feet from his keyboard.

The one song I think about when I hear Joe Jackson. It came out in 1982.

Joe Jackson had a lot of great songs.

"It's Different For Girls" is my favorite.

I apologize for participating in this post hijacking. But the other Joe Jackson was more interesting.

I knew people were not going to care if he died but still. God have mercy on his soul.
