yeah a lot of people are here to in the US. i dont know what to believe about the whole child molester thing, it all seems a bit weird to me, but regardless, i still respect him as an artist, he put out some great music.

i think he had some sort of disease that causes your skin to lose its pigmentation, im not certain what its called or anything. his nose though, that was all his own doing, cant blame that on nature.

It's called vitiligo. I've had a few patients with it when I worked on the ambulanve and in an adult hospital. I haven't had a patient come in with it at the childrens hospital where I currrently work. But I have had family members who had it visit my patients.

It makes for pretty wierd looks. They don't lose pigment everywhere evenly like Michael would ake you think. It's more like it concentrates in certain areas and fades out of others.

The first one I saw was a woman in her 70's who was as pale as me in the face (think Jim Gaffigan) but most of her back was sort of milk chocolate brown. And a kind of butterfly shaped place between her shoulder blades was darkdarkdark beown,, like well...dark chocolate. She had smaller but similar dark places on her knuckles and elbows. So maybe it gathers melanin in places where skin is stressed. Or maybe it's random. I couldn't tell ya.
