Jackson memorabilia goes on show
The hallmarks of Michael Jackson’s trademark style – a red-sequinned military jacket, a single sparkling glove and a crystal encrusted hat – go on public view this week in an exhibition of personal memorabilia.
The collection includes more than 250 objects including many that have never before been seen up close in public.
It will be exhibited for the first time at at the O2 arena where the star was planning a series of spectacular farewell shows before his sudden death in June.
As well as concert and video costumes the collection includes an original Jackson 5 contract, personally commissioned portraits and Jackson’s personal Rolls Royce.
Michael Jackson: The Official Exhibition will be on show for a limited time from Wednesday and this will be fans’ only chance to see it in the UK.
Dates and venues for two further exhibitions will be announced later.
Jackson’s estate administrators John Branca and John McClain said: “Michael Jackson: The Official Exhibition will let Michael’s fans celebrate his life, artistry and humanitarian efforts in a way that respects and honours his legacy.”
