PREVIEW

Following the Oasis reunion, a guitar Noel Gallagher once dubbed his favourite as "the best guitar in the world" is expected to sell for as much as £400,000 at auction. At the end of August Noel and his frontman brother Liam finally resolved their decade-and-a-half-long feud and agreed to reunite for concerts in the UK and Ireland. Alongside the reunion, entertainment collectibles auctioneer Propstore is selling more than 60 Oasis-related items, including Noel's Silver Sparkle Gibson Les Paul Florentine. The instrument he once dubbed the world's best could sell for as much as £400,000 - or more. Several other guitars in the auction are signed by Noel and can be linked to key performances in his career. Liam is not left out on the instrument front, either - as his tambourine is also heading to the auction block. Propstore's Music and Poster Specialist, Mark Hochman, commented on the collection "Propstore is genuinely excited to offer fans the chance to own these extraordinary pieces of music history.” The auction also includes handwritten lyrics to some of Oasis' most legendary songs. Notably, the lyrics to Wonderwall are estimated at £4,000 to £8,000 while a set featuring Supersonic and Live Forever, the latter autographed by both Noel and Liam Gallagher, is estimated at £3,000 to £6,000. Other standout items include Noel's custom-made psychedelic golf buggy, a gift from his ex-wife, Meg Matthews. The auction also includes other remarkable items such as platinum discs and stunning prints of the band by acclaimed music photographer Jill Furmanovsky, stage equipment and much more. Fans can view these items at the 'Together We'll Fly' exhibition in London from 18t to 20 October 2024, with proceeds supporting the Teenage Cancer Trust.
