A planned auction¹ of more than 1,000 items from the former home of pop star Michael Jackson has been cancelled.

一场计划好的有巨星迈克尔杰弗逊以前的房产中超过1000件物品的拍卖会已经被取消。

The items will now be returned to Michael Jackson

Nearly 1,400 items from the singer's Neverland Ranch² in California were due to go under the auctioneer's hammer next week.

But Jackson's production company sued the auction house to stop the sale.

A last-minute settlement means Jackson's belongings³ will now be returned to him. In response, he has dropped the lawsuit⁴.

A public preview of the collection had already begun in Los Angeles and the exhibition of Jackson's possessions will stay open until the end of next week.

But many will be sad they will not get to own any Michael Jackson memorabilia（大事记，纪念品）.

The items that were to be sold included his famous crystal-encrusted white glove, a golden throne and the gates to the Neverland Ranch（梦幻庄园）.

The sprawling⁵（无计划的占用山林农田建造厂房） property was Mr Jackson's home for many years. It included a zoo and theme park.

He left in 2005, after he was acquitted⁶（释放，免除） of child abuse charges in a high-profile court case.

Financial problems forced him to sell part-ownership of the property last year.
