Interest in the piece soared thanks to Oasis’s 2025 reunion tour, which has fuelled a surge in demand for the band’s memorabilia. In 2024, Noel’s Silver Sparkle Gibson Les Paul fetched £226,000 at auction.

Other PropStore highlights included:

Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal video hat – £50,400

Elvis Presley sunglasses – £75,600

Banksy artwork from Blur’s Think Tank album – £107,100

“This guitar symbolises the turbulent relationship of a band that shaped the 1990s,” PropStore said.
