An exciting highlight added to the auction will be a black jacket embroidered with rhinestones worn by music icon and original Van Halen singer, David Lee Roth, on stage performing with Van Halen during their landmark 2007-2008 tour when he reunited with the band for the first time since 1984. The jacket was also featured in a photograph accompanying this lot signed by Roth (seen in photo No. 3) with Eddie Van Halen taken backstage by photographer Robert Yager. The jacket was seen in Roth’s recent tweet with the photo in tribute to the late guitar legend on October 6, 2020, the day of Van Halen’s passing with the words, “What a Long Great Trip It’s Been..” (estimate: $2,000 – $4,000). Also headlining are two items from the legendary Bob Dylan: a 2018 MONDO SCRIPTO print with Dylan’s handwritten lyrics to “Like A Rolling Stone” on one side and the drawing on the other signed by Dylan (estimate: $2,000 – $3,000) and a hardcover copy of Bob Dylan’s 2004 book Chronicles signed on the inside by Dylan (estimate: $800 – $1,200). Another exceptional addition to the auction stage will be Pete Townsend’s blue boiler suit and long beige linen ‘kimono’ coat (estimate: $4,000 – $6,000) worn by the iconic guitarist while jumping in the air and performing with The Who during their epic shows at the Hollywood Bowl in October 24th, 2019 (seen in photo No. 4.

Making a special appearance is an acrylic and spray on canvas painting of singer and musician Chris Martin performing live with Coldplay by Billy Morrison, the artist and guitarist of Billy Idol’s band since 2009 (estimate: $8,000 to $12,000). The 48” x 36” mixed media, acrylic and spray on canvas is signed by both Chris Martin and Billy Morrison. About the painting, Morrison said, “I wanted to create a piece that talks about how, at this time more than ever, music is incredibly important and the language of love. I think Chris Martin encapsulates for so many that language.” (photo No. 2: Chris Martin and Billy Morrison with painting). | ||
