A pair of loafers worn by Michael Jackson during one of his infamous moonwalks are to go up for auction.

The sole of each shoe have been signed by the late star and include the hand written message: “Rock My World, Billie Jean.”

They will be sold alongside the black Fedora hat also worn by Jackson during a performance of 'Billie Jean' in New York in 2001.

The two items are expected to fetch up to £12,000.

Together they form part of an extensive collection of entertainment memorabilia due to go under the hammer at Bonhams auction house in London.

The sale, on Wednesday, also features a pair of Jackson 5 stage jeans and a cassette demo of the forerunner for Jackson's song, 'I've Never Heard' ('This Is It').

It is the latest collection of memorabilia to be auctioned since Jackson's sudden death in June.

You can see examples from previous sales on Gigwise below.
