Amsterdam Remembers Michael Jackson

Of all places... on the Elandsgracht in Amsterdam's Jordaan district, there's a surprising memorial to Michael Jackson.


The caption below the picture states:


 "In 1977, Dutch 'star' photographer Claude Vanheye photographed Michael Jackson in his Amsterdam Hazenstraat studio. After a four hour photo session, Claude gave Michael a personal tour of his neighborhood, de Jordaan. That's where they photographed each other in the street.


This exclusive photograph is for sale in limited editions and in 3 different sizes. For information, mail to: michaelamsterdamphotos@gmail.com"

There's no way of telling whether this is an official memorial, or some enterprising advertising by Claude Vanheye.

A few Jackson fans have left signs that they appreciate the memorial.
