This is the jacket Michael Jackson was wearing when he married Debbie Rowe in Sydney Australia November 14, 1996. Jackson was in Australia for his 1996 - 1997 HIStory world tour. In addition to marrying the mother of his children, Jackson attended a premiere for his short film "Ghosts." It was widely documented in the Australian media that Jackson contacted the Brent Street School of Performing Arts to see if some of the children from the school could accompany him to the premiere. The children readily accepted the invitation and attended the premiere only to be caught in a mob rush on Jackson after the screening. Jackson invited all of the children back to his hotel with him to make sure they were all alright. Once at the hotel Jackson held a party in his room for the children including ice cream and pillow fights. The children were allowed to pick one of Jackson's personal wardrobe items to keep as a gift at the end of the evening. Adam De Roma picked this jacket that Jackson had just worn during his marriage ceremony to Debbie Rowe. Laminated news articles including images of De Roma wearing the jacket with other children who also attended the party as well as news photos of Jackson wearing the jacket during the marriage ceremony are included with this lot.
