The slab is being sold at Nate D. Sanders auction house in Los Angeles, California - where officials say bidding could hit $100,000. Mr Sanders said: ''Michael Jackson's original handprint, footprints and signature are cast in cement.

Unlike other celebrity handprint reproductions, this one-of-a-kind slab is authentically imprinted and signed by Jackson and comes with pictures of him during the ceremony.'The piece dates almost exactly 25 years to the week before his tragic death on 25 June 2009. This is an amazing, truly one-of-a-kind tribute to Michael Jackson.''
