I don't believe it. He had vitiligo. Somebody with crossover appeal like he had, he wasn't trying to hide from who he was, why would he? If you don't believe he had it you can check here:

Lots of pictures showing that he definitely had vitiligo. For many years I was unconvinced but I think it is true. The pictures show it.
