Faith: The public figure at the center of today’s briefing
A wave of new items from music legends surfaces across major auctions. Dolly Parton’s chart re-entry follows her death; George Michael’s Faith-era memorabilia are set to go under the hammer, including a Gretsch Synchromatic 160 guitar and a 1985 Wham! China itinerary. The sale, run by Sworders, is scheduled for 29–31 October, with a separate sale for Ray‑Ban sunglasses from the Faith tour. The market is also seeing renewed interest in posthumous releases and legacy collections.
