Few could ever follow in his footsteps, but someone will soon at least be able to slip into his moonwalking shoes as Michael Jackson’s loafers went on show today. The black Sebago shoes, each of which has the words ‘Rock My World Billie Jean’ written on the sole, are to be sold at auction house Bonhams on Wednesday.
They were worn by the late star for a New York show the day before the 9/11 attacks and together with a fedora hat he wore at the same gig, the items are expected to fetch up to £12,000.
Also featuring in the entertainment memorabilia sale in Knightsbridge, London, is cassette demo of a track said to have been the forerunner of his song This Is It. The tape features a song called I Never Heard and according to information given to the auction house, the track was passed on by singer-songwriter Paul Anka in 1983, shortly after Jackson had recorded it in his California studio.
