Aaron Carter wears “priceless” Michael Jackson jacket on Dancing With the Stars!

Little did viewers know that the singer’s blinged-out blazer was actually a gift from Michael himself! In September 2001, the then-13-year-old entertainer contributed to Michael’s concert, and coveted the legendary star’s stage coat. “I said ‘I love that jacket, can I have it?’ I pleaded with him to give it me, as I loved it so much,” Aaron told In Touch after the ABC hit dancing competition’s October 20 episode. Though the Gloved One initially turned him down, he later gave the young Aaron the jacket he so desperately wanted. “There’s two of them in the world, and now it's priceless. I had somebody once offer me $15 million for this jacket!” Aaron gushed about the Swarovski crystal-studded souvenir. The “Dance With Me” crooner was thrilled to be a part of the show honoring Michael’s moves and his impact on the world of dance. DWTS’ pro dancers paid homage with such classics as “Man in the Mirror” and “Thriller” during the tribute, which was also attended by Jackson family members Katherine, Jermaine and LaToya. “I am so honored to have been a part of the show doing this tribute to him, and this is probably the first time I have actually spoken about Michael,” Aaron solemnly added of his late pal, who died tragically in June. Though he barely made the cut, Aaron will be back on the dance floor with his partner, Karina Smirnoff, next week.
