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.

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." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
