Quincy Jones has revealed that he discussed Michael Jackson's changing appearance with the late singer.

The music producer, who worked with the King of Pop on LPs Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad, said that he confronted Jackson over his claims about having the skin disease Vitiligo, Details reports.

"Oh, we talked about it all the time," he said. "But he'd come up with, 'Man, I promise you I have this disease', and so forth, and 'I have a blister on my lungs', and all that kind of BS. It's hard, because Michael's a Virgo, man - he's very set in his ways.

"You can't talk him out of it. Chemical peels and all that stuff. I don't believe in any of that bull***t, no."

Jones added that he was disturbed by the drastic measures the star took to alter his appearance.

He said: "It's ridiculous, man! Chemical peels and all of it. And I don't understand it. But he obviously didn't want to be black."

Earlier this week, the music mogul said that he "could not handle" attending Jackson’s funeral.
