The incredible singer of “I’m still standing”, the pianist with eccentric taste, the undeniable popstar Elton John has left Atlanta, a cult city of his creative odyssey. After 31 years of life spent in the capital of the Georgian state, the artist returned to his native land, England. And it's not just the apartment nestled in the American skyscrapers that he leaves behind, but his entire collection estimated at more than 10 million dollars. After completing his farewell tour, the singer decided to get rid of some personal belongings for a nice sum of money. From February 21 to 28, Christie's is organizing a series of eight auctions of the iconic pieces of the hatted rockstar. Versace shirts, sequined stage costumes, photographs of Andy Warhol and David Hockney, or even the Yamaha grand piano on which he composed the musical Billy Elliot, so many riches for fans of pop culture will govern the sale. Suffering from a slight horological madness, a range of luxury watches by the artist is also up for auction. Cartier, Rolex or Bulgaria, they are decorated with diamonds, white gold and sapphire. And for the biggest fans, a pair of silver boots decorated with the famous initials: E.J. The prices are exorbitant, like Bansky's "Flower Thrower" triptych sold by the artist and estimated at more than $1 million! The treasures of the Peachtree Road residence will be exhibited free of charge in New York for around ten days before being snatched up by eager art buffs. So if you are passing through the American metropolis, go to the Rockefeller Center to discover the unmissable Elton John collection.
