LENNON GLASSES EXPECTED TO FETCH TWO MILLION DOLLARS

Spectacles belonging to late rocker JOHN LENNON are expected to fetch $2 million (GBP1 million) at an online auction.

The prized items went on sale on Thursday (12Jul07) on music memorabilia website www.991.com. The last pair of Lennon's glasses sold in 2002 are insured for $2 million.

The former Beatle gave a pair of gold rimmed glasses to Japanese translator Junishi Yore during the band's 1966 tour of Japan. The glasses come without the lenses as Yore took them out as a sign of respect when he heard of Lennon's murder in 1980 - as tradition dictates in Japan.

The glasses come with a note from Yore, which reads, "He (Lennon) gave me this ... very nice man. Lenses removed when he die."

The auction closes at the end of the month (Jul07).
