00:00One of the most unique items I think we have is Noel Gallagher's guitar, his Cherry Red Gibson, which, as the story goes, is the guitar that broke up Oasis.
00:23So back in 2009 in Paris, Liam was swinging it around in rage backstage and that's when they called it quits.
00:30So it got damaged, but in 2011 Noel actually took it to a luthier to get repaired and subsequently played it with Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.
00:38And the estimate on that is about $330,000.
00:42The story behind the John Lennon glasses is that he wore them to the troubadour in Los Angeles, had a rather rowdy heckling session and got kicked out.
00:56And there's photographs of him entering the club with the glasses and leaving the club without the glasses.
01:01The estimate on those is around about $200,000.
01:06If you think of Michael Jackson, you probably think of the Smooth Criminal video with him doing that lean, that classic stunt.
01:21We have one of the three hats that were made for that shoot.
01:25It's marked number one inside and has a little feather in it that was originally part of the design and was subsequently cut from the shoot.
01:33But it's absolutely beautiful. You see it, you think Michael Jackson.
01:37And the estimate on that one is about $50,000 to $100,000.
