An iconic leather jacket worn by singer Michael Jackson in the 1980s has been bought for £250,000 ($306,000), reports BBC.

The black-and-white garment, worn by Jackson in a Pepsi advert, had been expected to sell for between £200,000 and £400,000 at the auction.

Jackson wore the jacket in 1984, in the first of a series of commercials the superstar did for the soft drink company.    

Those adverts are mainly remembered for an incident which saw Jackson's hair catch fire during one filming session, leaving him with serious burns. He was wearing a different jacket at the time.

Another high-ticket item was a beehive hairpiece worn by British singer Amy Winehouse for a 2007 music video You Know I'm No Good, from her last album Back To Black.

It sold for £18,750 ($22,900), slightly above the lower end of its estimated value.

Other featured items included ones linked to Elvis Presley, Queen and Johnny Marr.

A Gibson guitar that belonged to AC/DC's Angus Young went unsold, as did a limited edition Yellow Submarine Beatles jukebox.
