It has been announced that the drum skin that was used on the cover of The Beatles’ Sgt Pepper album has sold for £541,250 at an auction in London which is said to be almost four times the estimate. And John Lennon’s lyrics for Give Peace a Chance sold for an amazing £421,250.
It’s said that the lyrics were handed to comedy writer Gail Renard at Lennon and Yoko Ono’s Montreal “bed-in” in 1969.
The entire Beatles collection which also included photos that have never been seen in public before fetched more than £1.5m.
A 1967 Gibson guitar, formerly owned by Pete Townshend of the Who, sold for a whopping £32,450.
Memorabilia from acts including Ella Fitzgerald to Madonna were also auctioned in the sale.
