Access Hollywood Will Air Exclusive Preview of Fan Fest on November 9 & 10
LAS VEGAS –The first ever
Estate-authorized Michael Jackson Fan Fest™ will
now offer visitors a more in-depth look into Michael Jackson’s life, featuring
an opportunity to meet three of Michael Jackson’s brothers, Marlon, Jackie and
Tito Jackson, for one day only. The three brothers will be at Fan Fest on Sunday,
December 4, beginning at noon for an exclusive Q & A session for fans at
the exhibition.
Scheduled for December 3-14 at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Michael Jackson Fan Fest is designed to
transport guests through the life of the mega-star, showcasing never before
seen personal items and career memorabilia. The exhibition coincides with the
kick off of the extended Michael Jackson
THE IMMORTAL World Tour™ stop in Las Vegas during December. Michael Jackson Fan Fest will only be
in Las Vegas and will not travel to any other tour stop.
The intimate experience at Fan Fest extends even further beyond
the memorabilia and will also feature an enlightening Q & A with Joseph Vogel, author of Man in the Music: The Creative Work and Life
of Michael Jackson, on December 9 and 10. The newly released book takes
readers inside the impressive music catalog of Michael Jackson. Vogel is also the
author of two other books and writes about popular music and culture for The Huffington Post and Pop Matters.
To prepare for the launch of this
once-in-a-lifetime look at Michael Jackson’s belongings, Access Hollywood will
air a two-night sneak preview of Fan
Fest on November 9 and 10. Miko Brando, Michael’s lifelong friend, will
give a behind the scenes tour of items from Michael’s videos, tours and the
interior of Neverland during a visit to the warehouse, where Fan Fest items are currently being
stored. In addition, Miko Brando and Jackie Jackson will be in-studio at Access Hollywood Live the morning of
November 10 where they will showcase additional Fan Fest items and share some personal stories they have of the
King of Pop.
A wide variety of items will be
on display at Fan Fest from both
Michael Jackson’s career and Neverland Ranch. Featured memorabilia will
include costumes, the Fantasy glove collection from the 1980s, award statues,
tickets, the famed rocket plane from the “Leave Me Alone” video, a castle
displayed in the living room of Neverland and others. For a photo gallery of
