Sony released “This is it”, a documentary which traced Michael Jackson’s rehearsals for the would-have-been concert, this Wednesday on the 28th of October. The 112 minutes movie showed footage of the time between April and June when Jackson had been rehearsing for the “sold-out concert” which he was going to stage at the O2 Arena in London. The concert sadly never happened, but some intelligent minds and hardcore fans like Director Kenny Ortega and some Sony Pictures executives brought out this idea of the documentary film. The whole behind-the-scenes régale is a treat to every Jackson fan and brings alive the real charisma of Jackson.

This isn’t surprising at all. At a memorabilia auction held on Saturday, Michael Jackson’s famous white glove was sold for $350,000. Another black jacket the King of Pop wore during a 1989 world tour fetched $225,000. Although the auction constituted of hundreds of rock ‘n’ roll items, including many not associated with the Pop King, yet Jackson memorabilia stole all the limelight. The white glove of the late pop star was referred as “the Holy Grail of Michael Jackson” by Darren Julien, CEO of Julien’s Auctions, the organization that ran the auction. A pre-sale estimation for the master piece was about $50,000, which was surpassed by large counts. Hoffman Ma, who is a Hong Kong based business man, paid $420,000 as the final price along with the added commission (excluding taxes). Jackson’s black, strap and zipper-laden jacket that he wore during the 1989 “Bad” tour was sold at $275,000 including commission. The bidding soared to $225,000, which is 20 times higher than what was estimated earlier. Huge fans as well as dealers gathered at Times Square, New York’s Hard Rock Cafe for the auction. The primary attractions of the sale also included a car driven by Jackson, a guitar of David Bowie and memorabilia from the Beatles to Bo Diddley.

Jackson fans showed off that they are true fans of the King of Pop. Over hundreds of fans gathered at the outdoor area of the Roanoke Civic Center on Saturday night to celebrate the Halloween in King of Pop style.

It has been a little over four months after the shocking death of the king of pop, and now he has been nominated for a posthumous award at AMA.

With a tearful tribute the the late king of pop, Michael Jackson, Madonna made the MTV’s Video Music Awards memorable for all. Dressed in a black zippered jacket and skirt, she walked on the darkened stage and said, “Michael Jackson was born in August, 1958.”
