The NFTs include:


  • The iconic black cape worn by Lennon from the HELP! Cover
  • A handwritten note from Paul McCartney that was written to Julian. This was during the recording of “Hey Jude” which was written for Julian Lennon. (Starting Price $30,000)
  • guitar copy gifted by John Lennon to Julian (Starting price $4,000)
  • Lennon’s Magical Mystery Afghan Coat
  • 3 Gibson guitars gifted to Julian by John Lennon.

 

Auctions for objects owned by the band have broken records before. John Lennon’s acoustic guitar sold for a whopping $2.4 million in 2015.


Beatles NFTs to Carry on the Legacy of the Beatles


Julian Lennon is hoping that this NFT auction will help to carry on the legacy of the band and his father.

“As a son, I hold dear the good memories I have of my time with him...Through this NFT collection, I’m able to grant exclusive access to special items that I cherish and carry on the legacy of my father in a new way.”
