Michael Jackson "Victory Tour" stage worn custom made Swarovski right hand glove. Although the glove does not bear Bill Whitten's custom label, it was created by Bill Whitten and his team for Michael to wear on stage. The glove came from Rick Larson who worked with the Jacksons on several occasions from December 1983 to December 1984 as a stage technician. Several of the crystals are missing on the glove and Larson states in his letter of provenance that crystals sometimes fell off Michael's gloves when he was holding the microphone on stage and thus Whitten "made several replacements for each item of clothing - torn or given to the nearest tour crew member." He states that this is how he received the glove on November 17, 1984 after a Canadian show when Michael gave it to Larson on the corridor between his changing room and the stage. Michael is shown here wearing a similar glove. The glove comes accompanied by a letter signed by Rick Larson with his backstage pass for the November 17, `1983 concert at which he received the glove. Also comes with a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
