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 also be available for purchase.
Jackson who was once worth $1 billion 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.
Despite his spokeswoman labeling the reports speculative, Singer Michael Jackson is likely to perform a series of comeback concerts in London this summer.
