Provenance: Acquired by our vendor from a Christie's auction of Popular Culture: Rock & Roll Memorabilia, 12^th June 2012 (part lot 30) and with their lot label still tied to the t-shirt's manufacturer's label. The lot is also accompanied by a letter of provenance from a previous owner, Jennine Elcock-Haskell, in full, 'Michael Jackson changed the music world forever. He for decades continued to entertain the world with an innovative vision that has never been duplicated. In this spirit of giving of himself Michael once again lent his name, and his time, to a charity event, (meet and greet) at which he appeared and to be photographed with a few people, at that event, of which I was one. During this event he signed this t-shirt for me'.
