MICHAEL Jackson was “chemically castrated” by his father Joe according to the late star’s doctor. Conrad Murray said Joe, who died from cancer last month, was “cruel” to his children. “The cruelty expressed by Michael that he experienced at the hand of his father. “The fact that he was chemically castrated to maintain his high-pitched voice is beyond words.” Dr Murray has previously claimed the Jackson family patriarch would give Michael hormone injections to stop his voice from getting deeper. The doctor said Michael told him he was so scared of his dad he would vomit when he saw him.

Joe was buried in the same Southern California cemetery as his late son. He died on June 27 in Las Vegas at age 89 and is survived by wife Katherine, eight children and dozens of grandchildren.
