Michael Jackson’s historic moonwalk hat, a black fedora he tossed aside just before dazzling the world with his iconic moonwalk dance, is set to be auctioned in Paris on September 26. The much-anticipated sale at the Hotel Drouot is expected to fetch between 60,000 and 100,000 euros ($64,000–$107,000). Organized by Arthur Perault of the Artpeges Gallery, the auction will feature around 200 items of rock memorabilia. The hat was picked up by a man named Adam Kelly, who initially thought Jackson’s staff would retrieve it. A chunk of wall from the now-closed Bus Palladium venue in Paris, signed by various rock stars, is also part of the auction.
