Michael Jackson's Possessions Go On Display In New York

A selection of Michael Jackson's personal possessions have gone on display in New York.

Items on display at the Hard Rock Cafe include Jackson's famous crystal-encrusted glove and various stage outfits.

The possessions, taken from the singer's former Neverland home, are due to be auctioned during a five-day sale at the Beverley Hills Hotel in April.

Jackson launched a bid earlier this month to try and stop the auction going ahead but the sale has been authorised by the his managers. 

Other items in the auction include Jackson's crowns and the gates from his Neverland property.

Jackson is scheduled to play 50-nights at London's O2 Arena from July. All of the gigs, which run into 2010, are already sold out.

Jackson, now 50, has not performed a full concert since he was cleared of child molestation charges in 2005.

His last full tour, entitled HIStory, took place in 1996 and '97.
