Michael Jackson‘s famous red jacket worn during his 1983 “Thriller” video is up for auction, the proceeds benefiting the big cat sanctuary where the two tigers he once owned, Thriller and Shambu, reside.
The items is among several hundred others up for grabs during the Music Icons Auction hosted by Julien’s Auctions that takes place during the month of June.
The Shambala Preserve, operated by actress Tippi Hedren, has posted a statement of gratitude on its webpage.
Michael Jackson’s “Thriller Jacket” which he wore in his video “Thriller” is being offered for auction by Julien’s Auctions on Saturday and Sunday June 25th and 26th. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” jacket will benefit The Shambala Preserve current home to Michael Jackson’s two Bengal tigers, “Thriller” and “Sabu”. The two tigers have been living at The Shambala Preserve since 2006 when Jackson left Neverland Ranch.
All of us at The Roar Foundation and Shambala express our gratitude to Julien’s Auctions for making this benefit possible.
The Shambala Preserve is home to several lions, tigers and other big cats rescued from numerous neglect situations. Hedren opened the sanctuary after her interest in African lions peaked after starring in the film Roar.
Hedren’s committment to animal welfare and the preserve has earned her a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Humane Society of the United States.
