[1]A lock of Michael Jackson’s ‘hair’, which has been reportedly retrieved from a shower drain is expected to sell for more than 5,000 dollars in an auction.
The hair, which is reported to have belonged to the late King of Pop, was removed from the drain after he stayed at New York’s Carlyle Hotel.
It is being put up for sale by auction house Gotta Have Rock and Roll as part of an online pop culture memorabilia sale.
Bids for the hair, which comes with a certificate of authenticity start at 1,000 dollars and is expected to go beyond 5,000 dollars, the Mirror reported.
Since his death in 2009 a barrage of Jackson related memorabilia has been sold at auction houses worldwide.
In June this year both the jacket he wore in his 1983 Thriller video and his famous white glove and fedora hat were sold.
On November 8th a pair of silk pyjamas and a bed he once slept in were sold in Ireland.
