Michael Jackson’s Thriller Jacket Up For Auction
The iconic red leather jacket from Michael Jackson’s Thriller video is being auctioned this month in Beverly Hills, do you fancy owning the most famous jacket in music?
If you can see yourself strutting around pulling off those famous moves (or trying to anyway), then donning the actual jacket that Michael Jackson performed in may be the inspiration that you need to pull it off.
The downside? Well you are going to need around $200,000 – $400,000. Someone somewhere will think that is a small price to pay for the most recognisable item from the biggest selling album of all time, selling roughly 110 million copies worldwide, and still going.
Some of the money raised will go to the Shambala Preserve where Michael Jackson’s Bengal tigers have been living since 2006.
A bit cheaper than the Michael Jackson Thriller jacket is another item up for auction which is almost as iconic, a black glove worn by Michael at the 1984 American Music Awards.
It is expected to fetch between $20,000 – $30,000 and a quick search of youtube will show you footage of Michael wearing the glove.
Other items in the auction include Michael Jackson’s wigs and sketch’s, a car that Frank Sinatra used to own, Bruce Springsteen’s denim jacket that he wore on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine in 1984, handwritten lyrics from Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley’s guitar.
If you fancy a bit of music memorabilia then the auction is being held on June 25th and you can check out the full catalogue at www.juliensauctions.com.
