Michael Jackson's sequined white glove became a signature fashion item for the King of Pop, but according to a friend of Jackson, it was really used to cloak the early stages of his skin disease.

Actress Cicely Tyson, a longtime friend of Jackson, says that she shared a fashion designer with the pop star in the '80s, and saw him design the glove.

"All of a sudden, he said, 'I'm doing this glove for Michael.' Michael was beginning to develop the vitiligo and it started on his hand. The glove was to cover the vitiligo; that's how that glove came into being," Tyson said during an interview with Larry King.

"I was there when he was creating it," she said.

Vitiligo is a disease that causes the skin to lighten in blotches. In a recent interview, Jackson's dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein said that Jackson's particular case "was bad because he began to get a speckled look over his body ... All over his body -- but on his face and hands, which is hard to treat."

Elvis was a great entertainer of his own.But no disrespect to the king of rock n roll but he died also from what was to be said a drug overdose but nobody looks down on him for that? I mean was it bc he didnt supposbly touch kids or have a disease that changed his skin color or got a few surgeries done.guess well never know.god forbid if he did im sure the media would have had a field day with turning his life inside out for all to see too.

I am wondering if the Internet was around when Elvis died would people have made these unkind comments then? OK MJ was weird, but he was a good entertainer and his 3 children will now be in limbo as to who will be caring for them till they are old enough to make their own minds up on who they are.
