Julien's Auctions will host its Music Icons sale on May 15-16
in New York. Among the music royalty items on sale are an
American flag tank top worn by Madonna and a black crown worn by
Beyonce in her "Haunted" music video.
"It's really an eclectic auction of a lot of items from Britney
Spears, Michael Jackson, Madonna, so many items to choose from
pop culture history," Darren Julien, president and CEO of
Julien's Auctions, said at a preview in Beverly Hills.
"We anticipate the entire auction could bring in somewhere
between 2 and 4 million dollars."
A Mastersound electric guitar played by Beatle Harrison is one
of the highlights of the sale and is estimated to fetch up to
$600,000.
"It's a guitar that he played in 1963 at various performances
throughout the UK," Julien said. "(He) also played it at the
Cavern Club in Liverpool, which is really one of their historic
performances."
Fans of the "king of pop" will be able to purchase Jackson's hat
and sunglasses as well as one of his gloves.
