Michael Jackson's unseen tour footage for sale

Written by . Published: November 14 2011

Michael Jackson's never-before-seen concert footage is to go under the hammer in London later this month (Nov11).


The King of Pop's former chauffeur is selling off the tape, which was recorded in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1993 on his Dangerous tour.


It is believed Jackson decided to scrap the film after it was recorded because he was unhappy with the project and presented the sole copy to his driver as a gift.


Experts predict the two-hour film will raise more than its $6.4 million reserve when it is sold on 26 November (11) by Fame Bureau auctioneers.


CEO Ted Owen says, "I'm very excited that this tape is finally going to be seen because of its quality, the amount of cameras used and the sheer closeness you are to the performance when watching it."


Jackson died in 2009. Last week (07Nov11), his physician Conrad Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter after a jury in Los Angeles found him guilty of causing the superstar's death by administering a powerful anaesthetic to help his patient sleep.
