(1/30/02, 3 p.m. ET) -- R&B singer and former Dru Hill frontman Sisqo might be suffering from vitiligo, the same skin disease that has plagued pop superstar Michael Jackson. Sisqo has been wearing white protective gloves while making the promotional rounds for his new movie Snow Dogs, which also stars Cuba Gooding Jr. and James Coburn.
Sisqo shared that he was initially diagnosed with eczema but doctors now believe that he may have vitiligo, which causes a loss of color in the skin, mucous membrane, hair, and retina of the eye. The singer told New York's Daily News, "I had this kind of rash, so I'm taking antibiotics. From what I understand, it's from the stress."
The stress that could have caused Sisqo's ailment might be linked to the commercial failure of his last release, Return Of The Dragon. The album was the follow-up to the singer's quadruple-platinum debut, Unleash The Dragon, which featured the megahit, "Thong Song."
Sisqo's Def Soul/Def Jam Records label had no comment on the singer's health issues when contacted by LAUNCH.
