Michael Jackson's Thriller jacket sold for $1.8m

A jacket worn by Michael Jackson on the video for his hit single Thriller has sold at auction in California for $1.8m (£1.1m).

Jackson wore the jacket in the 1983 video, in a scene with a troupe of zombies who rise from their graves and break into a dance routine.

The new owner, a gold trader from Texas, plans to use it to raise money for children's charities.
