Michael Jackson selling personal items

Michael Jackson is selling personal items including his famous jewelled
white glove and a robotic head.
The ailing pop icon is holding a five-day public auction at the Beverly
Hilton hotel in Los Angeles in April.
More than 2,000 possessions and memorabilia from his career will go on sale,
including sequined socks, a portrait of himself dressed as an Elizabethan
king, a collection of Pope-mobile buggies with Jackson’s face painted on
them and the glove featured in his ‘Billie Jean’ video.
The items included are so extensive, a six-volume book has been printed to
detail every lot and US TV channel The Auction Network will broadcast the
event live.
Even the entry gates, arcade games, fixtures, fittings and amusement rides
from Jackson’s abandoned Neverland ranch will be available for purchase.
Some of the items will form a touring exhibition that will travel to Dublin
and London in March before going on display in Beverly Hills.
Jackson – who was once worth £500 million but is now facing severe financial
problems – is said to be battling a potentially "flesh-eating" superbug.
The 50-year-old singer reportedly contracted the skin infection - which is
resistant to conventional antibiotics - while having surgery to reconstruct
his nose.
A source said: "The infection has spread throughout his face and body and is
being aggressively treated by doctors.
"There's a chance it could turn into a flesh-eating disorder where it begins
to kill off his skin, so he's being very carefully monitored."
