Eddie Van Halen’s 1982 Kramer Guitar expected to fetch over $2M at Sotheby’s NY auction

Eddie Van Halen’s 1982 Kramer electric guitar will be auctioned by Sotheby’s New York during the house’s inaugural Grails Week from Oct. 21-28.

Ian Ferreyra de Bone, Sotheby’s managing director of its luxury division, said in a statement: “Played during some of Eddie’s most iconic performances and later used by Mötley Crüe’s Mick Mars, this instrument connects two giants of heavy metal. With its custom build and incredible backstory, it’s a true grail — exactly the kind of piece we had in mind for Sotheby’s first-ever Grails Week, which shines a spotlight on the most sought-after treasures from music, film, TV and comics and puts Sotheby’s right at the center of pop culture.”

The electric guitar was played by Van Halen on tour between 1982-1983, with the instrument’s black and white-striped design based upon the rocker’s well-known ‘Frankenstrat’ guitar from 1975.  The guitar was seen onstage during concerts in Philadelphia; Caracas, Venezuela; São Paulo, Brazil; and Buenos Aires, Argentina. Van Halen went on to gift the guitar to longtime friend/guitar technician Robin “Rudy” Leiren, who later sold it to Mick Mars, former lead guitarist and co-founder of Mötley Crüe. Mars used it during the recording of the hit Dr. Feelgood album, including on the track “Slice of Your Pie.”

According to estimates, the custom-built Kramer electric guitar is expected to fetch between $2 million-$3 million. A previous Sotheby’s sale for a guitar owned by Van Halen (which is on display in the band’s “Hot for Teacher” music video) netted $3,932,000 in April 2023.

Van Halen’s guitar will lead Sotheby’s upcoming “Rock & Pop” auction on Oct. 24 during Grails Week, with the sale also featuring memorabilia from Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and more.  Head to Sotheby’s website for more information.

Bad Bunny also shared a post on X: “I’ve been thinking about it these days, and after discussing it with my team, I think I’ll do just one date in the United States” (the post is in reference to the artist’s decision to skip touring in the U.S. on his Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour, due to President Trump’s use of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) for immigration crackdown).

Jay-Z’s Roc Nation entered a partnership with the NFL in 2019, in which he serves as the league’s “live music entertainment strategist” and assist with social-justice reform initiatives. In his role, Jay-Z, 55, makes the final call regarding who takes the stage at the big game’s halftime show. He said a statement: “What Benito has done and continues to do for Puerto Rico is truly inspiring. We are honored to have him on the world’s biggest stage.”

The artist shared: “What I’m feeling goes beyond myself. It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el halftime show del Super Bowl.”

The 2026 Super Bowl halftime will take place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, the home field of the San Francisco 49ers, on Feb. 8, 2026.

See Jeremy Allen White in the trailer for Bruce Springsteen biopic “Deliver Me From Nowhere”

A new trailer was released for ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere,’ starring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen on the making of his seminal album, Nebraska (1982).

The biopic is written and directed by Scott Cooper, and adapted from Warren Zanes’ 2023 biography, Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska. The film chronicles the development of the album, in which Springsteen retreated to a rented home in NJ with a four-track recorder to create a series of raw, intimate songs. Despite pressure from his record label to release the album along with a full-band, Springsteen ultimately decided to create Nebraska with the  home recordings.

Director Scott Cooper said in a press statement: “‘Nebraska’ is where Bruce chose truth over expectation—a choice that still reverberates through everything he’s written since. At that crossroads, he could have chased the bright lights and the roar of arenas, but instead he turned inward, armed only with silence, a four-track recorder, and the courage to confront himself. For him to trust me with telling that story—the most vulnerable chapter of his life—is the greatest honor I’ve ever had as a filmmaker.”

Along with White as Springsteen, the biopic features Jeremy Strong as the musician’s manager, Jon Landau; Marc Maron as producer Chuck Plotkin; Johnny Cannizzaro as Steven Van Zandt; Paul Walter Hauser as guitar tech Mike Batlan; Stephen Graham as Bruce Springsteen’s father, Doug; Odessa Young as a love interest name Faye; Gaby Hoffman as Springsteen’s mother, Adele; and David Krumholtz as Columbia Records executive Al Teller.

Coinciding with the film’s release will be “Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition’ – a five-disc collection featuring a remastered version of the original album, the fabled electric version of Nebraska, as well as the solo outtakes from the era. Pre-order: HERE.

Deliver Me From Nowhere will be released in theaters on October 24th; see the trailer: HERE.
