Can you give me more details about Michael Jackson's disease?
The only known disease Michael Jackson had, in addition to his addiction to a surgical IV drug, was that he had Vitiligo. Vitiligo is a condition in which the skin loses its natural pigmentation, but only in sections called blotches. So, for a dark black man, the skin appears almost white or tannish. Caucasians can also have Vitiligo--skin that is normally pinkish 'white' becomes even lighter, but only in blotches. In some ways, this is like a blotch from a birth mark, but Vitiligo appears after birth, in childhood or adulthood. Some people try to then bleach remaining natural pigment so it matches the blotches of lost pigment. Women often use make-up if Vitiligo affects the face or legs. But since Michael Jackson disclosed his Vitiligo, more people are seen with Vitiligo, including one female model.

What age did Michael Jackson get skin cancer?
He never had skin cancer. He did however, have a skin disorder called "vitiligo." This causes depigmentation in the skin. In other words, parts of Michael's skin turned a lighter colour leaving blotches everywhere. The only way to cover it up was makeup. So when people say Michael 'bleached' his skin, that's not correct. He had a rare skin disorder, vitiligo.
Are Michael Jackson's parents black?
Yes both his parents are black, he was only white because of a disease called Vitiligo, which causes parts of your skin to loose its pigment and become white. So Michael decided to get a procedure done called depigimentation which makes all of the skin white. Yes MJ had vitiligo but there is caucasian and native American bloodlines from MJs parents as well
