Jackson auction canceled

A huge auction of Michael Jackson memorabilia scheduled for next week was canceled on Tuesday and auctioneers agreed to return all the items to the singer.

Auctioneer Darren Julien said the cancellation of the planned April 22-25 sale was the result of an agreement with Jackson, who had filed a lawsuit in March demanding the return of certain items. A public exhibit of the 1,400 lots which opened on Tuesday in Beverly Hills will continue until April 25.
