## Summary

Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick has sold more than 300 items from his collection through Julien’s Auctions, led by a custom five-neck Hamer guitar that fetched $313,600. The sale drew attention to the range of objects connected to his career and included proceeds benefiting St Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

A black rubberised coat that Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx had urinated on sold for $5,760, about ten times its estimate; Sixx recounted the incident in his autobiography. Other notable sales included a stage-played 1975 Hamer guitar for $256,000, a 1955 Ford Thunderbird for $76,800 and a sweater from a Cheap Trick album cover for $6,400. The band has US tour dates planned for November, while a report says it intends to take a touring break in 2027.
