Michael Jackson's iconic black Bad  jacket , which he wore on his first solo tour, sold for $298,000 (Dh

1.09m) late Saturday, about three times its original asking price, at a New York auction which featured items from music legends Prince, Madonna, John Lennon and others, officials announced.

Julien's Auctions had an original asking price of $100,000 for the jacket that Jackson signed on the back with a silver permanent marker and was worn throughout the singer's Bad  world concert tour from 1987-89.

It is one of the late singer's most iconic costume pieces alongside his red and black leather Thriller  music video jacket that sold for $1.8 million at auction in 2011.

Jackson has become one of the most collectible celebrities since his sudden death in 2009 in Los Angeles at age 50 from an accidental overdose of an anesthetic he was using as a sleep aid.

The Bad  jacket was sold by Texas businessman and philanthropist Milton Verret along with almost 100 other items from his large rock 'n roll memorabilia collection.

The Icons & Idols: Rock-N-Roll auction, which announced the results of the two-day auction late Saturday, also featured electric guitars played by Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, and U2 band members The Edge and Bono.

  10. What's Michael's best (or worst) stage costume in your opinion?

    I would say his best stage costume was the black military jacket with gold straps he wore for "Jam". Worst would probably be the silver reflective jacket he wore for "Heal The World". I hate that jacket so much 🤣. Michael usually had the best color combos and clothing styles.

  11. Which Tour had the best set of outfits? : r/MichaelJackson

    All of Michael's tours had absolutely incredible outfits for his sets but I think I'm gonna go with the 'Triumph' tour for this one. By the time he did the 'Victory', 'Bad', 'Dangerous' & 'HIStory' tours Mike was obviously much more far along musically & as a live performer, so it is a bit unfair to have the 'Triumph' tour on here in comparison to begin with.
