Michael Jackson’s father blames his mom for the singer’s death.

Joe Jackson admitted to News of the World that he lit into his estranged wife, Katherine, when the two were standing over the pop icon’s body on a mortuary table.

“Katherine was weeping uncontrollably and highly upset. But I didn’t give her a hug because I was mad at her crying,” Joe Jackson told the British paper yesterday.

“I said, ‘If you had listened to me, Michael would be living now!’ I kept thinking about the times I had stood in front of her saying something was wrong.”

The King of Pop, who died on June 25, 2009, had long blamed his adult problems on the miserable childhood crafted by his abusive, money-hungry dad.

The late King Of Pop’s lawyer Howard Weitzman released a statement condemning Joe’s comments.

“The inference by Joe Jackson that Mrs. Jackson was in any way responsible for Michael’s death is preposterous. Katherine Jackson was a supportive and loving mother throughout Michael’s life. His love and respect for her is reflected in his estate plan.”
