Jackson’s planned home recreated in Ireland

THE British home of Michael Jackson is being recreated for his Irish fans with pieces of furniture he personally commissioned going on display.

A luxurious 16ft sofa and a feather-trimmed armchair handpicked for Elizabeth Taylor are among the items the late King of Pop ordered for the Kent mansion he planned to live in during his sell-out concerts in London.

It has taken seven days to ship the furniture from the renowned Colombostile Furniture Company in Italy to Ireland where they will go on show on Tuesday.
