Noel Gallagher’s guitars to be flogged for ‘up to £400,000’ as Oasis cash-in continues
From Wonderwall to wonder haul, Oasis look set to make a pretty penny from an online auction of memorabilia that already has fans in a frenzy.
The items, set to be auctioned off via the Propstore online auction, will contain 60 items of rare rock memorabilia from the band’s curated collection, including one precious item.
The item is a much-loved guitar, which Noel Gallagher once described as ‘the best in the world’.
The guitar is expected to fetch between a staggering £200,000 to £400,000.
The guitar is a custom Silver Sparkle Gibson Les Paul Florentine, and one of 18 guitars included in the bidding bounty.
Other items include Noel’s psychedelic golf buggy, gifted to him by ex-wife Meg Matthews..
Painted in the same psychedelic style as John Lennon’s Rolls Royce Phantom V limousine, it’s is expected to reach between £5,000-£10,000 at auction.
His brother Liam’s tambourine is estimated to fetch between £2,000-£3,000 at auction, while lyrics to some of the band’s greatest hits, including Wonderwall, Supersonic and Live Forever are also up for grabs.
The handwritten lyrics, some of which are autographed, are estimated to reach between £3,000-£8,000.
If tickets to their sell-out comeback tour are anything to go by, the auction could turn into yet another bidding frenzy for the brothers.
They recently announced they would be adding two new tour dates to the roster after fans were left devastated when they failed to get tickets.
The Oasis Live 25 tour sold out within hours after tickets went on sale last month, prompting the brothers to announce they would be adding two shows at Wembley Stadium.
They are now set to play 18 shows, with seven dates at Wembley, five in their home town of Manchester, three in Edinburgh, two in Cardiff and one in Dublin.
After the news of their tour sparked a frenzy, Liam took to his social media earlier today in a shock rant, telling fans to ‘shut up’.
He posted on X, formerly Twitter, this morning and wrote: ‘OASIS are back you’re welcome and I hear their ATTITUDE STINKS good to know some thing’s never change.”
Then, when a string of comments from fans replied to his post by criticising the ticketing approach, Liam replied with two words: “Shut up.”
