Presley, Lennon memorabilia goes under hammer

Washington (ANI): Elvis Presley's fans may bid for a hat he once owned when it goes under the hammer later this month. The second Icons Of Music auction, to be held on May 31 in New York, will also give Madonna's fans a chance to bid for her high-school year-book.

Sir Elton John's toaster, Jimi Hendrix's personal guitar straps, and a wooden spoon signed by late Beatle John Lennon are among other items that are to be auctioned. The proceeds from the auction will go to the Music Rising charity, co-founded by U2 rocker The Edge. The funds thus raised would be used on redevelopment work in America's hurricane devastated Central Gulf region.
