Jackson’s father forced him to play music.

.Whilst growing up Michael Jackson’s father, Joe Jackson

Whilst growing up Michael Jackson’s father, Joe Jackson would force Michael alongside his siblings to practice music.

He would often hit or whip them if they played the wrong note or made a mistake.

Joe’s mindset was to keep Michael and his siblings off the streets and away from gangs.

As a result, being raised in this way meant that they never had many friends.

Growing up in this forced Michael to be the best at what he did musically and caused a lot of mental pressure on him.
