Entertainment

Noel Gallagher’s psychedelic golf buggy and Liam Gallagher’s tambourine are among a host of Oasis memorabilia going on auction.

More than 60 items will be on offer at the Propstore online auction, including 18 of Noel’s guitars and handwritten lyrics to some of the band’s greatest hits.

One of the guitars, a custom Silver Sparkle Gibson Les Paul Florentine, which Noel described as “the best in the world”, is expected to fetch between £200,000 to £400,000.

A number of Noel’s handwritten lyrics to Wonderwall are estimated to go for between £4,000 and £8,000 and a set featuring Supersonic and Live Forever lyrics, the latter of which is autographed by both Gallagher brothers, are estimated to sell for between £3,000 and £6,000.

A tambourine that Liam used on stage is also up for grabs. It is unknown when or where the frontman used the instrument, but a similar one auctioned off in 2022 went for between £2,000 and £3,000.

The auction comes as the band announced they were reuniting for the first time since breaking up backstage at France’s Rock en Seine festival in 2009.

The most peculiar item in the auction is a golf buggy with psychedelic paint work in the same style as John Lennon’s Rolls Royce Phantom V limousine.

The vehicle was given to Noel by his then-wife Meg Matthews as a gift in the late 1990s, which he used to travel around the pair’s Buckinghamshire estate. It is expected to sell for between £5,000 and £10,000.
