MICHAEL JACKSON’S iconic sequined silver glove has been pressed into wet cement in Hollywood to commemorate the late pop star.

Jackson’s three children participated in the commemoration ceremony yesterday by pressing the glove and a pair of their late father’s shoes into the cement.

The imprints will be placed alongside the handprints, footprints and signatures of Hollywood celebrities including John Wayne, Humphrey Bogard, Bette Davis, Sophia Loren and Clint Eastwood.
