Sir Elton John putting piano, jumpsuit and platform boots up for auction

Sir Elton John’s piano, jumpsuit and platform boots are among items being put up for auction.

The musician, 76, is curating the sale of objects from his former Atlanta home with his husband David Furnish and in partnership with auction house Christie’s.

The work, titled Your Song, in reference to the megastar’s hit track and signed and inscribed “xxx for Elton + David”, has an estimated value of 350,000 to 450,000 US dollars (£280,000 to £360,000).

A portrait of Sir Elton by American painter and Oscar-nominated director Julian Schnabel is also estimated to be worth 200,000 to 300,000 US dollars (£160,000 to £240,000).

The jumpsuit, an ivory-and-gold ensemble, was among the first stage clothes made for Sir Elton and was designed by Annie Reavey.

It was loaned to make costumes for the Rocketman film, starring Taron Egerton, and was being sold with an estimate of between 8,000 to 12,000 US dollars (£6,500 to £9,700).

“In the two weeks leading up to the sales, Christie’s Rockefeller Centre Galleries will transform into a series of specially designed immersive spaces, offering a dynamic view into the world of Elton John.

“We take immense pride in presenting this multi-category sale, featuring a refined assortment of photographs, artworks, fashion, and costumes — a testament to a man’s eclectic vision, artistry, and impeccable taste.”

Sir Elton also had a Vogue cover by American photographer Irving Penn of fashion model Jean Patchett that could fetch between 100,000 to 150,000 US dollars (£79,000 to £120,000).

The musician ended his touring career last year, after spending over 50 years performing at venues throughout the world, when he delivered his last gig in the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour in Stockholm, Sweden, in July.

An exhibition of the collection is open to the public from February 9 to February 21 from 11am to 5pm at Christie’s 20 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City.

The opening night of sales begins on February 21.
