Description

Michael Jackson personally inscribed and signed "Please Love Me" pillow. Michael Jackson personally inscribed and signed "Please Love Me" pillow. (c. 2000) A 12 x 17 x 4 in. beige cotton, stuffed pillow. In a tender and somewhat melancholy message, Michael Jackson has handwritten across the face of the pillow, in black felt-tip pen, "I Love you / so so much / Please Love me / Michael Jackson". Jackson took to signing pillowcases during the stress and strife of his publicized conflicts of the 2000s. He would often toss the cases from his hotel window to fans waiting below. While pillowcase messages of the time were often directed toward his tormentors: the tabloids, this is a rare signed pillow with a very personal plea for love and support. In fine condition.
