David Bowie’s Hair Sold for $18,750

A lock of late rocker David Bowie’s hair went up for auction over the weekend and sold for an astonishing $18,750, with the proceeds going to an animal-welfare center in Thailand. The piece of hair was taken from Bowie in 1983 by a Madame Tussauds Wax Museum employee looking to match his hair color to a wig for his London figurine. The Heritage Auctions event also sold Prince’s famed Yellow Cloud guitar for $137,500.
