MICHAEL JACKSON, FREDDIE MERCURY, THE BEATLES, BRITNEY SPEARS & MORE HIT $4 MILLION MUSIC MEMORABILIA AUCTION

LOS ANGELES , CA, UNITED STATES, September 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Propstore, one of the world’s leading entertainment memorabilia auction houses, has announced its next major Music Live Auction, taking place in the UK across two live days on October 1 & 2, 2026. With bidding available to collectors worldwide, the auction will feature over 800 lots of rare and sought-after music memorabilia from some of the world’s most celebrated artists, with a combined estimated value of $4 million.

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

Leading the auction is Michael Jackson’s photo-matched black-and-gold military-style jacket, worn extensively at public appearances between 1994 and 1996 during the Dangerous and HIStory eras. Numerous photographs and footage document Jackson wearing the jacket, with its distinctive 24-carat gold braiding allowing it to be matched to several appearances. Created by costume designers Dennis Tompkins and Michael Bush, it was later gifted by Jackson to Norwegian rapper and dancer Omer Bhatti and comes directly from his collection. It is estimated at $237,600 – $475,200.

Also featured is Noel Gallagher’s autographed Takamine FP460SC acoustic guitar, one of two identical guitars used during Oasis’ celebrated 1996 MTV Unplugged performance at London’s Royal Festival Hall. The guitar was used extensively between 1995 and 1999, including on the (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? and Be Here Now tours, and comes with its original Oasis-stencilled touring case. It is estimated at $99,000 – $198,000.

Completing the highlights is a Pan American Airways first-class menu signed by all four members of The Beatles during their first flight to the United States on February 7, 1964. The journey marked the beginning of their inaugural American visit and the rise of Beatlemania in the United States. Presented in a custom frame, the menu is estimated at $52,800 – $105,600.

The auction will take place live over two days on October 1 & 2, 2026, with bidding available online, by telephone, and via absentee bids for collectors worldwide.

Propstore will also be hosting a special public free exhibition at The Cumberland Hotel, London from September 24 – 27, 2026, where fans and collectors will have the chance to see highlight lots up close, before they go under the hammer.
