The craze of NFTs is still going strong. Recently, a collection of items owned by the Beatles was sold as digital art. Some of these accessories included clothes worn by John Lennon and hand-written notes by Paul McCartney.
This auction was announced by Julian
Lennon, the son of the iconic member of the pop band. He wished to grant
some fans with exclusive access to some of the most cherished memorabilia of
his father. These accessories were sold as NFTs as part of the “Lennon
Connection: The NFT Collection”. Those acquiring these non-fungible tokens have
received audio-visual collectibles with narration by Julian Lennon alongside
images of the items.
The bidding had an eclectic bunch
of products which were guaranteed to appeal to many fans of the Beatles. The collection
also included several guitars owned by John Lennon. Furthermore, there was the
artist’s emblematic Magical Mystery Afghan coat and the black cape he wore on
the set of the movie “Help!” There were a non-fungible token for the notes of
“Hey Jude”, the hit song written by Paul
McCartney as well.
Some of the proceeds from this
sale went to Julian Lennon’s
“White Feather Foundation” which deals with environmental and humanitarian
problems.
