Breaking News: Michael Jackson Has Skin Cancer
Rumors have been running rampid, and it has finally been released that the king of pop, Michael Jackson does have skin cancer. He’s been secretly battling skin cancer for the past month, since he had been diagnosed by doctors after they found spots of cancer on his neck and pre-cancerous cells on his face.
Even though he’s been diagnosed, doctors say he was a bit nervous at first but is still determined to get better and show up in London to give his fans what they are looking for. A source told The Sun:
“Michael’s test showed spots of skin cancer on his body, and cell which could turn to skin cancer on his face. He was at first very concerned, but says he has been assured by the doctors that they can treat this and he will recover. Michael is really looking forward to his concerts and is determined to wow his fans at each and every gig. He said he’s insisted that any treatment must fit around the concerts, and the show will go on.”
It’s been said that Jackson has been visiting a dermatologist in Beverly Hills on the regular, and showing up with his infamous masks each time. A few weeks back he was spotted at Cedar-Sinai Hospital in LA, which is known to have a specialist lab to test for skin cancer.
Here are some interesting facts about skin cancer:
Skin cancer rates have quadrupled since the 1970s, faster than any other cancer. This is thought to be caused by over-exposure to the sun and increased use of sunbeds in pursuit of the perfect tan. Vitiligo, the disease which Michael Jackson was reportedly diagnosed with in 1986, is thought to be linked to skin cancer. The pigmentation condition means that there are areas of the sufferers’ skin which do not contain melanin, which gives the skin color and protects it from the sun’s rays.
Wow…well we are definitely wishing the best for Michael. He’s like the walking messiah of the music industry, so he could NEVER die. He’ll live forever, or at least find a way to.
