The music producer recently came out with his opinion in regards to whether Michael Jackson wanted to be black or not. The verdict is that Michael Jackson supposedly didn’t suffer from vitiligo, but he just didn’t want to be black, or so claims Quincy Jones: “I don’t believe in any of that bullshit, no. No. Never. I’ve been around junkies and stuff all my life. I’ve heard every excuse. It’s like smokers – ‘I only smoke when I drink’ and all that stuff. But it’s bullshit. You’re justifying something that’s destructive to your existence. But when somebody’s hell-bent on it, you can’t stop ‘em. What his face turned into is ridiculous. Chemical peels and all of it. And I don’t understand it. But he obviously didn’t want to be black. You see his kids?” Well, this comes at a good time, namely just when everybody was probably growing sympathetic to Michael Jackson’s condition. Boy, Quincy Jones sure knows how pick ‘em!

Michael Jackson reportedly wanted to quit music, just months before his tragic death.

The King of Pop died in LA suddenly on June 25 after he reportedly suffered a heart attack.

His close friend Bryan Michael Stoller, who knew Jacko for 20 years, said the star was planning to move away from music and into film-making.

He said: “It was almost as if he’d lost his love for music. He was so frail and exhausted.

“He wanted to move into film-making and told me it was much more important to him than music.”

But Jackson had signed up to perform 50 shows at London’s O2 Arena, which were due to start later this year, and Stoller claimed the stress of the tour was making him ill.

He said: “He looked like he wasn’t taking very good care of himself at all. He tried to be upbeat about the tour, but you could see that he was down and depressed. I have never seen him so bad.”
