There is still the possibility that Michael was infected with it to become white. How cruel.
It's scary what Cher was told back then (it was in the late 1970's on a party on the Queen Mary II) and I read about it before. And 'coincidentaly' Michael's vitiligo started to develop in the late '70's, early 80's. Vitiligo AND lupus can be induced by drugs, like medication, but after hearing Cher's story, it might have well be induced by heavier stuff (by the handlers, not by Michael).Manifestations of drug induced lupus and vitiligo: You are not allowed to view links.
