More than a decade after pop icon Michael Jackson died, his son Prince Jackson shared the sad reality his father faced.
The 26-year-old son of the legendary pop star continues to honor his father’s name. Besides commemorating the late icon on his posthumous 65th birthday, the youngster set the record straight about his father’s skin color change.
Before the “Bad” performer died in 2009, several theories about him bleaching his skin to look white surfaced. However, in a recent event, Prince revealed the reason behind his father’s color change.
Prince Jackson Talks About His Father Michael Jackson’s Struggle With Vitiligo
In an interview with the “Hotboxin’ Podcast,” Prince spoke with Mike Tyson about his late father’s legacy as the King of Pop before explaining his insecurities with Vitiligo. During the conversation, Tyson discussed the late singer’s skin discoloration before he died.

Tyson stated, “Everybody thinks he is [Michael Jackson] I’m changing my skin because I want to be white. He wants to change it because he wants that light. He wants to be a light to shine.”
After hearing Tyson’s take on his dead father, Prince reveals what led to the skin shift. He said, “When I was young, you know, he always explained it to me. He has a skin condition called Vitiligo; I don’t know what the medical term actually is…”
He added, “I think it’s also in the autopsy report. I think the reason. It’s up to speculation, but it’s either Vitiligo or some form of Lupus that contributes to Vitiligo.”
The actress went on to reveal that her father’s skin condition has affected her confidence. So he came up with a method to make his skin color look the same. In the words of the Prince, “He [Michael Jackson] had a lot of insecurities about looking acne-prone in her appearance, so she wanted to see if she could spruce up her appearance to help her safety, I guess, her physical appearance.”
The candid revelation came almost a month after the Prince honored his father on his 65th birthday. The music producer commemorated the day, sharing an emotional photo alongside a heartfelt message.
The image captures the King of Pop in an all-black outfit consisting of a button-down shirt and leather pants. She let her signature black curls fall freely over her face and added sunglasses to her look.
The “Billie Jean” singer was accompanied by her three children in the shot. MJ, being warmly greeted, carried her son Bigi in her arms while Paris and Prince flanked her.
Michael Jackson’s Convicted Doctor, Conrad Murray, Has Opened a New Medical Facility
Meanwhile, Michael Jackson’s former doctor, Conrad Murray, is opening a new medical facility twelve years after his conviction. While under the 70-year-old doctor’s care, Jackson died of a heart attack. Two years later, Murray was charged and convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
However, Murray successfully relaunched his medical career, opening the DCM Medical Institute in El Socorro, San Juan. At the launch, the 70-year-old spoke candidly about his professional reputation following Jackson’s death and what inspired him to open the institute.
According to the 70-year-old man, his old colleagues did not welcome him because of his status as a contributing factor in the death of the “Bad” singer.
“When I returned to Trinidad, most of the colleagues I trained with felt that I was too threatened to attend,” explained the doctor. “When all I’m willing to do is to collaborate, educate more, and instill more awareness.”
The father of seven added, “So they decided to lock the door by chance when they saw the case I was doing.” However, the doctor said he was relentless and kept trying despite the negatives. Murray explained, “It was tough. I dealt with a country that locked its borders for two years, but I did not give up. I felt that I had to be relentless.”

As mentioned, Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, and during the trial, the prosecution tried to prove the doctor’s guilt. Prosecutors described Murray as an unscrupulous doctor who traded the Hippocratic oath for $150,000 a month.
