Amid the anguish of the passing of her close friend, Majestik, 85-year-old Katherine Jackson's health appears to have taken a bad turn.
The mother of the late Michael Jackson was spotted Feb. 19 at Nobu restaurant in Malibu riding in a wheelchair.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Michael's personal magician, who had been very close with both Katherine and Paris, passed away that very morning at the age of 61 after a long battle with cancer.
According to reports, Katherine had paid over a million dollars over the past year in a desperate bid to keep Majestik alive.
“Katherine referred to Majestik as her ‘other son,'” an insider told RadarOnline.com. “They are all really devastated over his death.”
To make matters worse, 17-year-old Paris has been acting out lately, rebelling against her family on the heels of a suicide attempt, and smoking and drinking while under age.
“They don’t know what to do because they are just in shock over her behavior,” a friend said of the Jackson family.

“The fact that she’s in A.A. absolutely horrifies them because they are both so old-school," the insider continued.
"They want to pretend like addiction does not exist in their family. Sadly, that could not be further from the truth.”
