Elton John will auction off 20 of his private stash of luxury and sports cars at Christie's on June 5 according to Hollywood.com.
The cars include John's Rolls Royce Silver Cloud named "Daisy" and an Aston Martin called "The Beast." Passengers of the cars, other than the ostentatious singer, include Sting, Hugh Grant, Gianni Versace and George Michael. Christie's estimates the cars will bring in approximately $1.4 million.
"Celebrity auctions are very popular," said Christie's spokesperson Patricia Clark, "especially Elton John, who's incredibly popular here in England. There is generally more interest in celebrity auctions. People love the idea of owning a bit of a star, a piece of history. It makes their lives a little more interesting."
John recently lost a court battle with his former manager and accountant. Christie's, however, insisted that The Rocket Man is selling his cars because he doesn't get a chance to enjoy them anymore because of his travel and other time commitments.
John also put his vast record collection on the market last year through Christie's.
