Michael Jackson

Have they sold all of Michael Jackson's things? Not yet! His burnt hair from the Pepsi commercial left! But don't worry, it is now up for sale and valued at $1,600! The hair we are talking about was burnt in a pyrotechnics accident during the filming of a Pepsi commercial in 1984 after which the star was left with with second degree burns.

Now, shreds salvaged from the superstar's scalp are presented at an auction at the Edwardian Radisson Hotel, in London, on October 17. 
"Michael on his cue, was supposed to come down the stairs the explosion went off and the first thing I noticed was, he was about half way down the stairs, and I noticed flame emanating from his hair. And it took me a moment to register what exactly was happening because there was so much lights and so many different things go on, it was a little confusing but I noticed his hair was on fire and I immediately rushed out from my position. I pulled my jacket off as I was running and proceeded to, when I reached him, put it over his head…", the commercial's executive producer, Ralph Cohen explained.
"This memorabilia has doubled in price since Michael Jackson died. The hair was collected by Ralph Cohen who worked on the Pepsi advert when Jackson's hair caught fire. The strands are clearly burnt and were picked up after the incident that left Jackson with second degree burns", Richard Davie, the auction's host declared.
