Rare Michael Jackson memorabilia, including his famous white-jewelled glove, is to go on display in Ireland.

Jackson's stage costumes also form part of the collection at the Newbridge Silverware Museum of Style Icons in Co Kildare.

Fans will be able to see the display for the next two weeks.

The artefacts are taken from the King of Pop: A Once in a Lifetime Auction, which will take place in Beverley Hills Hotel next month.

As previously reported, Jackson is expected to announce his pop comeback in London later today (March 5th).

It is thought Jackson will play a summer residency at the O2 Arena, emulating Prince's run at the London venue in 2007.
