MIKA is now the proud owner of Michael Jackson's shoe collection which was given to him as a gift from a top fashion designer.
The singer was given the King of Pop's footwear by Christian Louboutin as a way of saying thank you for helping him avoid a fight with actor Robert De Niro.
The shoes were going to be worn by Jackson onstage during his This Is It comeback shows at London's O2 Arena this year.
Jackson hired Louboutin to fashion his shoes for the concerts, but after his sudden death in June, Mika's was given the collection.
And he believes the generous gift is because he saved him from a boozy brawl with the Hollywood star.
He said: "Christian is a great friend of mine, but I had to stop him from being sorted out by Robert De Niro once.
"We went back to a house party after the Oscars and Christian was so drunk he stepped on Robert's girlfriend's dress and ripped it right the way up the back. Robert and these security guys were furious - I could see them glaring at Christian. So I grabbed Christian and said 'Yes, he's an a**hole', and threw him into a cab before they beat him up. It was insane."
he added: "Christian Louboutin designed all Michael Jackson's shoes that he was supposed to be wearing for the O2 concerts. So when he died, Christian asked if I wanted them for my tour.
"They are amazing. One is a black soft leather lace-up which goes up the ankle to support Michael while he was dancing. Then there is the pair which must have been made for him to moonwalk in. They are gold with a metal toe and the soles are really smooth and slippy to make it easy to moonwalk in. I think they are the only pair I might not wear.
"It's a little freaky to think he'd have worn those to do the moonwalk in. Then again, who knows, it might give me some magic power to help me dance rather than just jumping around the stage like an idiot."
