i also read that he was gifted that t-shirt from those fans, it’s just making me so emotional. i miss him so much, i hope he knew how much we loved him.

A special few things to note:

• Michael’s vitiligo had already manifested and advanced prior to the 1984 Pepsi Accident. The Pepsi Accident didn’t trigger the vitiligo in of itself. (The shots in first pic are from April 16, 1983.)

• Michael’s depigmentation affected his face and his hands most evidently (seen in pics 1, 2, 3, and 4) before it eventually spread universally.

• In pic 5, you can see Michael is wearing makeup to conceal only his face and hands. (If memory serves, this picture was taken during the heartbeat recording for Smooth Criminal.)

• Michael’s choice of foundation in the early Bad era varied between Thriller-era colored to almost early Dangerous-era color. He began to experiment with lighter shades in 1984, and continued to do so until around 1992 (when his depigmentation treatment was completed).

• The progression of the vitiligo can be seen in pic 1 and pic 3. It started on his cheeks, nose bridge, and forehead, and eventually depigmented more of his face, his ears, his chin, and his neck. These areas are also consistent with pic 4.

• Pic 6 is not as rare, but the areas and stage of the facial depigmentation is consistent with the first 4 pictures.

Please feel free to add to this series or share your own favorite facial expressions of him in the comments, I would love to see them!
