The guitar smashed in the lodge at the Rock en Seine festival in 2009 by Noel Gallagher, a member of Oasis, will be auctioned off.
"It's been in the pipeline for a while between the two brothers but, that evening, it explodes in the dressing rooms, a guitar from Noel is broken and the breakup of the group ensues"
, recalls for AFP Jonathan Berg , co-founder of Artpèges.
The crowd waiting for the concert then learns, amazed, by a message from the festival, of their separation.
The performance will never take place.
Since then, the enemy brothers have long exchanged acidity via social networks or the press, before a relative lull lately.

"Today this guitar is in one piece thanks to Philippe Dubreuille, a French luthier who stayed in London for a long time, who restored it two years after the incident"
, explains Jonathan Berg.
After
"relentlessly looking for a luthier who could repair it, Noel Gallagher finally parted with it because this guitar reminds him too much of
Oasis
"
, adds Arthur Perault, another co-founder of Artpèges.
"Estimated between 300,000 and 500,000 euros, the starting price for this guitar will be 150,000 euros"
, he specifies, underlining the
"international"
echo expected with this sale.

This disc with unique signatures, starts from a fan who wants to have it signed by the idol of young people after her concert in Nancy, in October 1966. Trying her luck in a brasserie, she only comes across musicians.
In particular the opening band, with a certain Jimi Hendrix, still unknown.
They then sign the disc.
“This is the first set of autographs from the Jimi Hendrix Experience (group of the American guitarist and singer).
We see that Jimi is not used to signing, he just writes his name with a heart while the others are used to doing that
, ”describes Arthur Perault.
It was when the owner of the disc then inquired in the 2010s with Yazid Manou, a French specialist in Hendrix, to get an idea of its value,
"I was also contacted at that time because Johnny was going to pay homage to Jimi in
Taratata
(French TV show) and I had the idea of having him sign the record
," Yazid Manou told AFP.
In 2011, 45 years after the Nancy concert, Johnny finally signs the vinyl.
The record holder is parting ways today.
