With Modern Talking, Thomas Anders once made the big hit.

But even as a famous pop and hit star you experience your fan moments: The 59-year-old has now revealed that he can call a precious piece his own that once belonged to none other than Michael Jackson.

Koblenz - As the 'King of Pop', Michael Jackson (†) shaped the music world like no other - no wonder that the big stars keep coming out as fans of the US singer, who died in 2009.

Thomas Anders, who is now starting out in the Schlager world (all Schlager news at a glance) after his modern-talking career, even owns a very special piece from MJ's former possession.

Yes, Thomas Anders (the most successful crooner of all time) has been the proud owner of a little piece of music history for some time: the modern-talking star owns the white hat that Michael Jackson wore in the video clip for "Smooth Criminal".

This is even signed by the 'King of Pop' himself, as the 59-year-old revealed in the YouTube format "Unterbergs Universum".

However, the pop singer came to the precious piece more by accident – ​​and the selfless gesture of a friend: He collects rare treasures from the music business and once owned the white Michael Jackson hat that Thomas Anders regularly admired back then.

At the festival of love, the 59-year-old experienced a big surprise:

Thomas Anders now keeps the hat in an illuminated display case.

There, the clothing of the 'King of Pop' is not only safe, but can also be admired by visitors.

The pop star (the stage names of the pop stars and their real names) does not reveal what the treasure is actually worth, but a small sum should have to be paid for it in the event of a sale: in 2020, a glove from Michael Jackson was already sold for 112,000 US dollars auctioned.
