Notes


While in the Netherlands on his Dangerous World Tour of 1992, Michael Jackson donated this hat for the Veronica Muziekveiling, charity auction organized to support UNICEF. The signer handed it to the Dutch television presenter Henny Huisman when they met in the children hospital in Rotterdam (images available at http://goo.gl/h6zpmi). The charity auction was disapproved by the Reformatorisch Dagblad (18 september 1992, p. 21), that claimed that it is unacceptable to make relicts out of private objects of the showbiz icons and that it was not proper for UNICEF to sell them. The mention '1998' accompanied Michael's signatures ever since the 80's. Although just another speculation, some say 1998 was his predicted year of death which he tried to ward off by writing it down.
