The last surviving Ludwig drumkit that belonged to late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham will be auctioned at the Idea Generation Gallery near London’s Liverpool Street on September 4, 2008. The five-piece kit is the only Bonham-owned intstrument to exist outside the family estate, and is estimated at ВЈ20,000.
Jim Morrison‘s final 20-page notebook of poetry from Paris from 1971 is also up for sale. The book contains lyrics and musings and was given to a friend just before his death. The spiral notebook is expected to go for between ВЈ80,000 and ВЈ100,000.
Last but not least, Jimi Hendrix‘s 1965 Fender Stratocaster – the first guitar the musician famously set on fire at London’s Astoria on March 31, 1967 – is expected to fetch in the region of ВЈ500,000 when it goes under the hammer at the auction.
