Hours earlier, Joe's daughter Janet shared a touching message with her social media followers.
La Toya Jackson also posted a sweet birthday message to her father.
Neither Janet nor La Toya has spoken about the suspected stroke, with their brothers Jermaine and Tito also staying quiet online.
Us Weekly reports Joe has previously suffered three strokes, including a mild one in November 2012. For the latter he received care at a Las Vegas hospital after complaining of having pains in his head and difficulty standing.
