Maybe somebody wanted his haters to feel sympathy for him but this video is just horrible and in very bad timing. Tragedies caught on tape that are promoted for ratings just for shock and reality factor is really sick. I really feel for his family, friends, kids and fans at this time. Like MJ said, "They dont really care about us." But, keep hope alive people. Just not BO fake notion of hope. I agree decora especially when rawstory is supposed to be about publishing news

He used makeup - a LOT of makeup - for years to cover it up. In some extreme cases it has been known to cause pigment loss over the majority of the body. If you look up vitiligo on Google and look at the images, some of the first one s that come up are of Michael where you can see his skin patching as far back as 1982.

Never have been. Didn't like his predilection towards kids. However, that was scary stuff, and it is sadly horrible that it happened to him. And, yes, sahhaf, he was an addict, so get over yourself. It has happened to people better and worse than MJ. Not a MJ fan. Never have been. Didn't like his predilection towards kids.

YEAH RIGHT!...that's why HIS WHOLE BODY SUDDENLY BECAME WHITE...god...get a clue. Or just watch the video...his SCALP and probably portions of his face near his hairline were burned -- AND IT'S A HORRIBLE THING TO HAVE HAPPEN...but this in no way caused his entire pigmentation to turn lighter than most white people...Even Michael Jackson, himself, didn't use this as an excuse...he tried to blame it on vitiligo. Which usually appears patchy...not as uniformly white pigmentation all over. Who knows...he obviously had some extremely disturbing body image issues. Just compare how he looks on the OFF THE WALL album compared to later (even by THRILLER, you can see that he had plastic surgery to alter the the nose, etc.) THIS is the reason for his skin lightening?
