What?! Oh, I hope this is not true. And if it is I hope he recovers fully.

Shit, dude is sooo young.

I thought u meant AI's Randy Jackson.I was like "Oh no,who's gonna replace him"?

randy has a history of medical issues..car crashes...drugs...damn

I kept thinking it was Randy Jackson Dawg. Still very sad. But keep in mind the writer. Roger Friedman was the same guy that claimed Issac Hayes had a stroke!

Randy can't be 46 can he? Isn't he the youngest?
Either way, it could have been worse. This way it's only a wake up call. He can stay on top of it, recover fully and prevent anything more serious.

Janet is the youngest

That's right. Wow. Randy is 46. Still, too young.

anon said:

yes... but sadly it does happen to people even younger

Randy, get well soon and hope everything is alright.

banks said:

I know. And everyone should take care of themselves but I guess since he's one of the youngest, it's like a Jackson check. I'm sure he'll have millions nagging him to stay healthy and I hope he does.

I hope he recovers.

I'm not sure of his exact age, but I honestly don't think Randy is 46. I used to have a crush on him when I was younger because he was the Jackson closest to my age and certainly don't remember him being 9 years older than me. I think he is only 2 or 3 years older than Janet.

Well, he was born in 1961 so he just turned 46.

I think Randy is the youngest Jackson son.

Randy is 45, he doesn't turn 46 until October.

Dear fans and friends,

Today sources close to the Jackson family told us that Randy (Michael’s brother), while on a business trip to a European city (which we cannot reveal atm), has actually been hospitalised for a check-up after complaining of chest pain.

In the following hours Randy will undergo several heart tests; it also has been told us that the Jackson family members are aware of all this and are all worried.

I hope he´ll be OK.

FoxNews sucks a$$. Thats why I didnt originally include that link that June7 added.

Here is some information for you who didn't know:

Randy is 45 years old (the youngest brother).

"It has been said by Michael that Randy is the best musician in the family. Because he was too young when the boys joined Motown in 1969, Joe told him to learn an instrument. He started with the conga/bongo, and later learned to play drums from a Jackson 5 session drummer. He is also an accomplished bassist, guitarist and keyboardist."

He is or at least used to be a great songwriter, here are some of the songs he wrote/co-wrote:

Push me away
Things I do for you
Shake your body
Destiny
Bless his soul
All night dancing
That's what you get for being polite
Time waits for no one
Give it up
Lovely one
walk right now
wondering who
One more chance
The love we almost had
