The proud mom could be seen smiling as she sat in her wheelchair, covered in a white blanket, from the side-lines at Resorts World Theater.
She was last pictured in August 2023 when she went to watch her grandson Austin Brown perform.
Austin is the son of Katherine’s daughter Rebbie, but prior to that she was not seen since 2019.
Katherine is a mother to ten kids with her late husband Joe Jackson, including the very famous Michael Jackson.
