Late Michael Jackson's son Prince has been diagnosed with his father's rare skin condition, the singer's sister La Toya has revealed.

The 'Thriller' hitmaker suffered with vitiligo, a condition that causes depigmentation in patches of skin - making the pop star change colour.

And he has passed on the disorder to his 12-year-old son.

"Vitiligo is on my father's side and Prince has it, too - on his arms and chest," the Daily Express quoted La Toya as saying.
