Prince’s last performance guitar up for grabs

The guitar Prince played at his final show is going under the hammer at auction next month (Nov18).
The white Collings 290 guitar is expected to fetch up to $80,000 (GBP61,000) at the Julien’s Auctions sale, which will take place at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York.
Prince played the guitar onstage during a surprise performance at a tribute concert to Ray Charles at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater in Minneapolis on 12 March, 2016. He went on to play three solos that night in what would be the music legend’s last stage performance before his death on 21 April, 2016, according to auction house boss Darren Julien.
Prince’s custom–made motorcycle jacket from the film Purple Rain is also up for grabs at the auction, as well as his scarlet red Gianni Versace couture wool suit he wore on the cover of Esquire Gentleman in 2005 and a “glittery shirt” he donned during the New Power Soul tour.
The auction will also offer up memorabilia from Madonna, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and Jimi Hendrix.
