“Vitiligo is on my father’s side and Prince has it, too – on his arms and chest,” Michael’s sister, La Toya has confirmed to the press.

Easily identified by its habit of making darker skin cells fade to almost pure white, up to five-million Americans share this harmless condition.

The 53-year old singer and frequent co-star in Playboy also said that Prince and his two siblings; Paris, 11, and Prince Michael II, 7, are still dealing with the grief of losing their dad.
