Michael Jackson's light glove goes under the hammer for £44,000


Probably it is the love and admiration for late Pop King Michael Jackson which has made me write this post.

The illuminated white glove of Michael Jackson which he wore during his 1984 Victory Tour had been put for auction. This white glove was termed as the ultimate piece of Michael Jackson memorabilia. It was made by Ted Shell for the 1984 tour in which Jackson brothers performed together for the last time.

The white glove comes adorned with Austrian crystal rhinestones and shining bugle beads. It comes fitted with fifty tiny lights which have been powered by nine volt battery in cuff along with a switch to turn them on and off. Wired on separate circuits, the glass bulb lights twinkle at random for added visual impact on stage. Finally it went under the hammer for £44,300.
