- Michael Jackson’s hair pulled from a drain expected to sell for more than $5,000 at auction

A lock of Michael Jackson's hair is expected to sell for upwards of $5,000 at auction
A lock of Michael Jackson’s ‘hair’ is expected to sell for upwards of $5,000 after it was reportedly retrieved from a shower drain.
The hair is said to have belonged to the King of Pop, and was removed from the drain after he stayed at New York’s Carlyle Hotel.
It’s being offered 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 but it’s thought it could sell for upwards of $5,000
It comes after a previously unseen Michael Jackson documentary failed to sell at a London auction.
The film features footage of the singer's 'Dangerous' 1993 world tour, filmed in Argentina. It was expected to fetch £4 million on Saturday night (26th November).
Both Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' jacket and his white glove have been sold at auction
Jackson gave a VHS copy of the scrapped film to his chauffeur, who wished to remain anonymous. The King Of Pop was said to be unhappy with the finished documentary, which is why it was never released, and he also sacked the crew who worked on it.
The driver said he had been given the tape as "a reward or a bonus" for his "transportation services" and leaked a very short clip of the film online in 2009 after Jackson's death, but was stopped by the singer's record label and lawyers who claimed exclusive rights to the film.
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.
