Born Prince Rogers Nelson in 1958 in Minneapolis, Minnesota and revered around the world by his first name and later only a symbol, the one and only Prince takes center stage with several of his most iconic items heading to auction for the first time, most notably his final stage performance instrument: a white Collings 290 guitar (estimate: $60,000-$80,000). The seven-time GRAMMY-winning pop music titan played the guitar on stage during a surprise performance at a tribute concert to Ray Charles at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater in Minneapolis on March 12, 2016. While the band was performing "Let the Good Times Roll," Prince appeared and began to play the guitar solo on stage, much to the shock of the audience and even the band members. Prince played three solos that night in what would be the music legend's last stage performance; he passed away on April 21, 2016, less than two months later. Another highly-anticipated auction item from the superstar of stage and screen is Prince's custom-made motorcycle jacket (estimate: $20,000-$30,000) worn in his smash film debut Purple Rain (Warner Bros., 1984). Prince wore the jacket in the film's motorcycle riding scenes and in the famous scene where he tells Apollonia, "You have to purify yourself in Lake Minnetonka." A purple trench coat made for Prince to wear in Purple Rain also makes an appearance (estimate: $8,000-$10,000) as well as his scarlet red Gianni Versace couture wool suit worn on the cover of a 1995 issue of Esquire Gentleman (estimate: $10,000-$20,000); The Purple One's glittery shirts worn on the New Power Soul tour, tunics, vests and more.

The Queen of Pop and the indisputable American fashion provocateur, Madonna, has trail blazed music, celebrity and fashion in a way all her own for the past three decades. After bursting onto the music scene in 1983 with her debut self-titled album, Madonna's signature "Boy Toy" look with crucifixes, rubber bracelets and lace went on to define 1980s fashion itself. But it was her on-screen wardrobe in her 1985 film debut Desperately Seeking Susan that caused a fashion commotion and global phenomenon where millions of fans around the world emulated her style. One of the Material Girl's most iconic looks of all time - a custom-made jacquard cropped tuxedo jacket worn by Madonna and her co-star Rosanna Arquette in the film - hits the auction stage (estimate: $80,000-$100,000), along with the black hat case used by Madonna's character Susan as luggage that includes miscellaneous film props including a pair of rhinestone drop earrings, a single leg warmer, a green comb, an almost-empty pack of Camel cigarettes, and some utensils (estimate: $10,000-$20,000).

Hailed by The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music," Jimi Hendrix was revered for his open-stringed, revolutionary electric guitar playing style. His band, The Jimi Hendrix Experience's 1968 studio album, Electric Ladyland, reached number one in the U.S. and is considered one of the greatest rock records of all time that produced the classic singles, "All Along the Watchtower," "Gypsy Eyes," "Burning of the Midnight Lamp," among others. A group of three quarter-inch magnetic tape recordings featuring tracks from the fabled album including a live studio "jam" version of "Voodoo Child" with Steve Winwood on organ and Jack Casady on bass together with five reel boxes bearing titles and recording information from the Ladyland sessions with Hendrix's own handwritten notations will be offered for auction (estimate: $50,000-$70,000).

Another piece of rock fashion iconography comes from one of the most influential singer-songwriters of all time: Bob Dylan. The revered 1960s folk icon, who became the voice of a generation with his civil rights and anti-war movements anthems, "Blowin' in the Wind," "The Times They Are a-Changin," and later went electric with his hit single "Like a Rolling Stone," has been a looming figure in pop music and culture for more than five decades. One of his distinct looks, his black motorcycle jacket, worn extensively during the 1980s will be presented at auction and is conservatively estimated at $50,000 to $70,000. Dylan wore the jacket on the cover of his 1984 album Real Live; in the music video for his 1985 single "Tight Connection to My Heart (Has Anyone Seen My Love)"; during his performance with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers at the University of Illinois on Sept. 22, 1985; on the True Confessions international tour with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers in 1986; and in multiple public appearances.
