Michael Jackson's iconic sequined 'Billie Jean' jacket - which the King of Pop wore on his 1984 Victory Tour - expected to fetch $100k as it hits the auction block


Bids as high as $80,000 - $100,000 are expected to be made for the garment worn by the late King of Pop on his 1984 Victory Tour, the auction house said.

'When he went on that stage, the charisma coming back from the crowd, you could feel it,' concert promoter Russ Cline told Kansas City NBC affiliate KHSB last July of Michael's performances and popularity in the mid-80s. Julien's announced the sale of the jacket and other items in a news conference Tuesday at London's Hard Rock Cafe in Piccadilly Circus, as part of its MUSIC ICONS auction slated for May 29-May 30. A pair of black nylon Onitsuka Tiger brand High-Top sneakers owned by late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury is among the items in the lot, Julien's said.
