Michael's limo on display in London
Legendary pop star Michael Jackson is the subject of a massive exhibition in London. As part of the fascinating display which showcases a wide range of over 250 personal items belonging to the late star, Michael’s 1967 Rolls Royce Phantom will provide one of the focal points of the exhibition at the O2 arena complex.
The display is a celebration of the much-loved musician’s life and is a must-see for any Jackson fans. Other artefacts exhibited include a throne, crown and a portrait of Michael painted as a King, rather fitting for the King of Pop himself. Other iconic pieces which are instantly recognisable to fans are also on display including his sequinned glove, many of his show outfits and even the spooky costumes used in the Thriller video.
Other extremely personal artefacts include the hand-written lyrics to the 80’s hit song Beat It. The piece is written in black felt tip pen without a single correction. The Rolls Royce Phantom was reportedly a favourite of Jacksons and he would go out for rides around LA in the luxury limo, often accompanied by friend Elizabeth Taylor.
The exhibition opened at the same venue where Jackson had been scheduled to perform his epic comeback This Is It tour before his untimely demise in June of this year. The curator of the exhibition, Robert Santelli said, “We don’t have the concerts, we don’t have the man any more but what we do have is his legacy and that’s what this celebrates.”
