Britney Spears' father, Jamie Spears, has had several health issues over the past few months, but it was reported recently that he's spending time in the hospital for weeks now due to a problem with his health.

According to a source who spoke with Page Six, the pop star's former conservator has been "suffering with a bad infection that has required surgery."

The insider added that the older Spears is "severely ill" and has been spending time in a "special infectious disease facility" for weeks now.

In addition, the source noted that a report by the Daily Mail about Jamie spending time at a rehabilitation facility due to alcoholism is not true.

As of this writing, the issue has not been confirmed by Jamie's lawyers.

If ever the reports were true, this isn't the first time Jamie spent time at a hospital as a news outlet reported back in August that he was hospitalized for months.

The reason why he had to be treated by doctors was due to his problems with his knees. The elder Spears previously had a knee replacement over 16 year ago and he reportedly suffered from an infection.

At the time of the report, the outlet noted that Jamie was set to undergo surgery again to remove the infection. Throughout his time at the hospital, he reportedly lost more than 25 pounds and is "extremely thin."
