Jamie Spears’ had his leg amputated a month ago as his health continues to decline, according to a report.
Sources told TMZ that Britney’s estranged father had a massive infection in one of his legs that saw him hospitalized in October for weeks.
The outlet adds that Jamie underwent a total of five surgeries to combat the infection, but was ultimately forced to have his leg amputated.
Jamie reportedly suffered from an infection stemming from a knee replacement surgery he had 16 years ago.
The 71-year-old has lost over 25 pounds through his health woes.
His ailing health has also forced him to reevaluate his relationships, the outlet notes, and he reportedly wants to make amends with his Grammy-winning daughter.
What’s more, TMZ says that the “Gimme More” hitmaker — who once said she wanted Jamie in jail for his role in her “abusive” 13-year conservatorship — “misses her dad,” and has even “talked about sending him money to help him out.”
Page Six has reached out to Britney’s reps for comment.
In October, Page Six exclusively revealed that Jamie was hospitalized as a result of the infection.
“Jamie has been suffering with a bad infection that has required surgery,” a source told us at the time. “He has been hospitalized for weeks in a special infectious disease facility.”
While a second insider close to the family told us that the 71-year-old is “severely ill.”
Jamie has stayed under the radar since being Britney accused him of being “abusive” as her conservator for 13 years.

The pop star’s dad had been in control of her personal, medical, and financial decisions until a Los Angeles judge finally terminated the conservatorship in November 2021.
The pair’s relationship reached an all-time low in 2021 when the “Crossroads” star said those closest to her “should all be in jail” for their roles in establishing her conservatorship.
“Ma’am, my dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship, and my management, who played huge roles in punishing me when I said ‘No’ [to going on tour] — ma’am, they should be in jail,” she told a Los Angeles judge at the time.
“I’ve lied and told the whole world I’m OK and I’m happy. I’ve been in denial. I’ve been in shock. I am traumatized.”
The father-daughter duo have been estranged since.
