From Michael Jackson jackets to Noel Gallagher guitars, memorabilia from several music stars will go up for auction in November in a sale estimated to raise about $2.61 million.
On November 15, the Propstore house will auction more than 350 objects used or belonging to great music stars, as part of a four-day event in which pieces of film and television costumes will also be sold.
Among the lots related to music, an original Jimi Hendrix tape stands out with four unreleased demos in a box on which the musician wrote his titles.

Framed “Beat It” lyrics handwritten by Jackson, as well as some of his jackets, will also be auctioned. A black and gold military-style jacket has an estimated price of $261,000 to $522,000, while his red “Thriller” tour rehearsal jacket comes complete with multiple famous signatures.
“Not only has it been signed by Michael, but on the inside, on the back lining, it is signed by John Landis, who directed the ‘Thriller’ video, and his wife, Deborah Landis, who designed the jacket for Michael,” Mark Hochman, music specialist at Propstore, told Reuters.
Also up for sale are 15 guitars that belonged to Noel Gallagher, in what Propstore says is the largest collection of Oasis guitars to come up for auction.
Other lots include a 1962 Fawn JMI Vox AC15 Twin amplifier owned by John Lennon (£100,000-£200,000) and a synthesizer Prince used during the recording of “Purple Rain” (£50,000-£100,000).
