‘You know this was Michael Jackson’s?’ Is something someone might say after buying this one and other music items in November.
He he! Nope, this one’s no joke!
Michael Jackson’s iconic black-and-white leather jacket is going up for auction on 10 November at the Propstore in London.
Fans will have the opportunity to bid on his famous 1984 Pepsi commercial jacket, which he also wore to reimagine the hit song “Billie Jean.”
The jacket, which was custom-made for Jackson for the commercial, is listed for between £200,000 (over R4.5 million) and £400,000 (R9 million).
