A glove worn by Michael Jackson in a 1983 television special celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Motown Sound was stolen from the Motown Museum during a tour late Tuesday, officials said.
"It is one of a kind and is irreplaceable," said William Baran, museum consultant. "It is the one he wore on stage while doing his moonwalk dance."Baran described the right hand glove as white, with makeup stains on the inside and glittering crystal beads on the outside.
The glove was donated to the original home of the Motown Sound, "Hittsville USA," by Jackson in 1988 along with other artifacts and a donation of $125,000.
