John Lennon’s eldest son Julian has announced an auction for several Beatles memorabilia as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). With no intent to part with actual items, he plans on selling digital rights.

I’ve been collecting these personal items for about 30 years, and I was getting a bit fed up with them being locked away in a vault, where I’ve had to keep them because I didn’t want them to get damaged.

The NFT collection goes by the name “Lennon Connection” and will include items like Paul McCartney’s handwritten notes for the group’s song “Hey Jude,” and clothes worn by John Lennon.

For the sale, Julian’s auctionhouse will be partnering with Yellow Heart NFT. Each NFT will be available as an audio-visual collectible, with narration and images by Julian Lennon.

Lennon pledged that he would donate part of his proceeds to The White Feather Foundation, which is a company set up to reduce carbon emissions.

Lennon Connection: NFT Collection registrations and bidding are now open. A portion of proceeds from the auction will go to @TWFFofficial in collaboration with @JuliensAuctions and @YellowHeartNFT to offset carbon via @nori. Learn more at https://t.co/6l5nzO1CHJ pic.twitter.com/bvG7EHAX88

“Through this NFT collection, I’m able to grant exclusive access to special items that I cherish and carry on the legacy of my father in a new way,” Lennon told Rolling Stone.
