Legendary musician Michael Jackson who has sadly passed away age 50 was well known for suffering several confirmed health problems as well as some rumored ailments.

In 1984 he suffered burns whilst filming a Pepsi commercial and had to have major surgery on his scalp. He suffered intense pain and this is when it was thought he became addicted to painkillers. He is reported to have several skin disorders including lupus.

In 1993, Jackson’s dermatologist, Arnold Klein, released a statement saying Jackson had a rare skin disease called vitiligo. This causes the sufferer to lose melanin. Jackson was also hospitalized with chest pain in 1990. A concert tour was cut short in November 1993 because of an addiction to prescription painkillers.

In 1995, Jackson was rushed to a hospital after collapsing during rehearsals for a televised performance; the incident was reportedly caused by a stress related panic attack.
Another time, The National Enquirer reported that Michael Jackson was so stricken with panic attacks that at the MTV video awards, he almost did not go on stage to collect an award from Britney Spears.

In 2005, Jackson went to a hospital for treatment of what his spokeswoman said was recurring back pain. More rumors emerged in May 2009 that Jackson had skin cancer.

Michael Jackson has admitted he had a troubled childhood, his father admitted he whipped him for minor offences like missing a note. During one interview, Michael reported that he became emotional and vomited before meeting his father. In court documents, mental health experts had the opinion that Jackson was psychologically a regressed 10 yr old.
It seems clear that Michael Jackson was suffering serious mental health issues as well as addictions to several drugs.

Hopefully we can learn from his experience and take action before things become overwhelming and out of control.

God bless him and his family.
