Michael Jackson performing at Motown 25 Special in 1983

Michael Jackson's iconic white glove which he wore at the 1983 Motown 25 Special will be auctioned at the Hard Rock Café in New York's Times Square.

Jackson wore many gloves over the years, but this glove in particular was a modified store-bought glove covered with rhinestones.  It's estimated the glove is worth between $40,000-$60,000.  The glove has been in the possession of Commodores member Walter "Clyde" Orange, who received it from Jackson the night he wore it.

Jackson and Orange had an ongoing joke over the years of how Jackson denied giving him his autograph because he felt he was more famous.  At the Motown 25 Special, after Jackson's memorable performance at which he unveiled his Moonwalk, he gave Orange the trademark glove instead.

Ne-Yo was onstage during a concert in Manchester, UK and performed about an hour.  After the Grammy-award winning singer-songwriter performed a rendition of Michael Jackson's "Off The Wall" when he bacame very emotional and began crying.  He abruptly ended the show by telling the crowd he had to leave due to illness and he promised the crowd "I will be back".

It's pretty evident that Ne-Yo's "illness" was just his emotions getting the best of him and he was feeling the sorrow of Michael Jackson's death.  Be strong Ne-Yo, I know you will be back.
