Blogger Tunde Ednut shared pictures of the King of Pop from age 11 to 50 when he died on June 25, 2009.
Some of his fans observed the change in the complexion of the Thriller crooner as he grew from childhood and teenage years to adulthood.
They also shared how he suffered from vitiligo, a condition that makes the skin lose its colour or pigment. One of the features of the deceased was his signature moonwalk and other incredible dance moves.
Some netizens spoke fondly about the deceased, who they said was a great artiste and had no match when he was alive. They also hailed his ability to take the world by storm despite the absence of social media influence in his time.
