“This opportunity to honor the musical legend Janet Jackson at our Hard Rock properties in such a meaningful way is extremely exciting for us and all of our guests that will get to experience it,” said Keith Sheldon, President of Entertainment for Hard Rock International. “Paying tribute to iconic performers, both on our stages and throughout our properties, is the beating heart of Hard Rock and tells a beautiful story of the artists’ history. Janet Jackson’s story is truly an extraordinary one that we’re thrilled to showcase.”
Hard Rock owns the world’s largest and most valuable collection of authentic music memorabilia with more than 87,000 pieces, including autographed guitars, costumes from world tours and rare photographs. Today’s vast memorabilia collection all started with Eric Clapton marking his favorite seat in the cafe by hanging up his guitar on the wall. We grew as a brand alongside legends in this business. Most recently, multi-Grammy award winning artist, Elton John, added his iconic Gucci suit to the renowned Hard Rock memorabilia collection at the Old Park Lane Hard Rock where he also gave an intimate performance during the BST Hyde Park Festival in June 2022.
On Sunday, May 21, 2023, following Jackson’s birthday week, the music auction event of the year, “PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF JANET JACKSON,” will take place live in Hard Rock Cafe Times Square in New York and online at Julienslive.com. More than 800 illustrious items owned by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted singer, representing her groundbreaking five-decade career in entertainment and her legendary inimitable style as one of the world’s most iconic women, will be offered to the public. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the child advocacy group Compassion International.
“Julien’s Auctions is excited to partner with Hard Rock to celebrate the legendary career of Janet Jackson for this once-in-a-lifetime auction event,” said Darren Julien, Founder and President of Julien’s Auctions. “Much like Hard Rock, we believe her collection is a great representation of her outstanding career and life in music and fashion so we’re excited to celebrate it.”
Among the items expected to cause a stir at the auction will be Janet Jackson’s stunning 2003 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish (estimate $50,000 – $70,000). The luxury vehicle personally owned and driven by Jackson features premium black leather seating with charcoal gray perforated leather inserts and is equipped with a DOHC 48-valve 6.0 liter 12-cylinder engine that is mated to a six-speed sequential gearbox, producing 460 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft of torque.
