There are signs of Michael’s face makeup on the mask, and a strand of Michael’s hair is also attached to it.

According to Mohammed, this mask was sewn specifically for Michael’s London concerts (This Is It), and Michael used it during a rehearsal session on June 24 at the Staples Center. The King of Pop passed away the following afternoon.
