Mon 26 June 2023:
Michael Jackson, known as the “King of Pop,” made an enduring impression on the music industry with his his chart-topping hits and breathtaking dancing moves. According to recent reports, the black fedora he wore in 1983 at a broadcast Motown concert will be put up for auction in Paris.
A few minutes later Jackson, at the height of his fame, showed off what would become his trademark move — a seemingly effortless glide backwards while appearing to move forward.
The hat, with an estimated value of 60,000 to 100,000 euros ($65,000-$110,000), will be the star attraction at an auction of rock-and-roll items by Drouot on September 26.
In addition to Michael Jackson’s iconic fedora, the auction will feature a range of remarkable items, including one of Madonna’s gold records, a suit worn by Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore, and a guitar once owned by T-Bone Walker, which is expected to fetch around 150,000 euros.
The complete list of approximately 200 items that will be available for auction will be released online by Hotel Drouot on July 4. The event is organized by Artpeges and Lemon Auction.
As we remember Michael Jackson’s incredible contributions to music, his timeless hits like Dangerous, Beat It, Smooth Criminal, and We Are the World continue to resonate with fans worldwide. He is survived by his children Prince, Paris, and Bigi, who carry on his legacy.
