One of John Lennon’s Final Autographs Hits the Auction Block

A promotional poster for John Lennon and Yoko Ono's album 'Double Fantasy,' signed by Lennon on the morning of his murder on December 8, 1980, is being auctioned by Propstore in London. The lot, estimated between £60,000 and £120,000, includes the RKO Radio archives from Lennon's final interview.

The sale highlights the high-value market for music memorabilia tied to pivotal cultural moments and tragic events. The auction features over 400 items, including Slash's tour-played Gibson Les Paul guitar and personal artifacts from Queen's Freddie Mercury, demonstrating how objects associated with iconic artists and specific historical instants command significant collector interest and financial estimates.
