Quincy Jones: Michael Jackson Bleached Skin Because He 'Didn't Want To Be Black'

The producer speaks out about his friend's obsession with his appearance...

On March 25, 1983 the TV show 'Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever' was filmed for NBC featuring an array of artists from the label including Diana Ross & The Supremes, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. The Jacksons sang a medley of their greatest hits, while Michael himself performed Billie Jean solo. It was this performance that turned out to be another huge moment in Michael's career, when he showcased the moonwalk for the very first time. (Image: WENN.com)

Some friend Mister Jones turned out to be, waiting until his friend was dead and unable to respond to his comments. With friends like that who needs enemies. Perhaps when he departs his friends will appear in front of the news hounds and make comments about him, he cannot repute from the grave. Whatever the resason's for Michael's light skin, vitigo, chem peels, who the hell cares. The man is dead, he received no peace in life...at least let him have some now. RIP Mike

Maybe Mr. Jones should read the leaked autopsy report which states that Michael, did, in fact have vitiligo and scarring on his lungs. What a good friend he was NOT. Q is full of it.
