Julien's "Played, Worn, & Torn" concludes in Nashville with over 800 lots sold
A-ha 1985 "Take On Me" Original Music Video Artwork ($5,120).



NASHVILLE, TENN.- Julien’s Auctions presented the final day of the annual “Played, Worn, & Torn” event in Nashville, TN. Taking place over two days at the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum, today's conclusion showcased nearly half of the over 800 pieces of music history from the biggest names in entertainment.

The final day of the highly anticipated auction presented an array of treasures; from stage-played guitars and assorted gear to handwritten lyrics, iconic fashions to artwork, home decor to sports memorabilia and assorted personal artifacts.

Fans and collectors came out in huge support for Metallica’s lead guitarist, Kirk Hammett. The enthusiasm drove the collection to a complete sell-out, raising much-needed funds for MusiCares. Additionally, several of the lots sold benefit philanthropic causes including: Gibson Gives, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, and Springfield Black Tie, Missouri’s premier LGBTQ+ Gala supporting the local LGBTQIA+ community.

Throughout the event, the auction block showcased spectacular items from music legends and contemporary superstars including Prince, Michael Jackson, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Ozzy Osbourne, Madonna, Bon Jovi, Janet Jackson, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Adam Clayton, Queen, Johnny Cash, Whitney Houston, Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, David Bowie, Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones, Duran Duran and The Ramones among many other treasures.

“Wrapping up Day 2 of ‘Played, Worn, & Torn’ has been nothing short of remarkable. The excitement surrounding The Kirk Hammett Collection—more than 100 pieces from one of rock’s most iconic guitarists—was unparalleled, and the passion for items tied to artists like Chappell Roan and Janet Jackson shows just how vibrant and far-reaching today’s music culture is,” said Martin Nolan, Executive Director and Co-Founder, Julien’s Auctions. Adding, “What makes this auction truly special is the incredible group of charities we were able to support, including MusiCares, Teen Cancer America, Gibson Gives, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. These past two days have been a tribute to creativity, legacy, and community, and we’re deeply grateful to the fans, collectors, and partners who helped bring it all to life.”

Julien’s Auctions continues to solidify its position as a global leader in music, entertainment, and celebrity auctions, uniting collectors and enthusiasts from around the world for this monumental sale.
