Michael Jackson Signed "Beat It" Style Red Leather Jacket with HIStory World Tour Backstage Pass, VIP Pass and Parking Pass

Michael Jackson signed this "Beat It" style red leather jacket in black sharpie pen, on the left arm "Love Michael Jackson". Michael signed the jacket for a friend who brought it backstage when she met him at his concert on January 4, 1997 at the Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii. The fan had gone to both concerts, on the 3rd and the 4th, and on the second night she met Michael backstage, with the hekp of a close friend who was a tour crew member at the time. The Jonathan Christopher red leather jacket mulitple silver zippers, button studs and silver mesh, is a size 38. The fan had the jacket in her collection starting in the mid-1980's, she then took it to the concert and had it signed by Michael in 1997, and then kept the signed jacket in her possession until 2020. In very good condition, the jacket is accompanied by the fan's original VIP Pass, Guest Pass and Parking Pass for the event. It also comes with photocopies of her concert tickets (she wished to keep the original tickets in her possession as keepsakes), along with her signed letter of provenance. Also comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
