Historical Beatles memorabilia in the form of NFTs
On his Twitter account, John Lennon’s son Julian has unveiled plans to auction off historic Beatles memorabilia in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Called “Lennon Connection: The NFT Collection”, the project features memorabilia from Julian Lennon’s personal collection.

The auction is being conducted in collaboration with NFTs platform YellowHeart and Julien’s Auctions from 24 January to 7 February 2022.
Moreover, part of the funds raised will be donated to the White Feather Foundation, of which Julian is the founder.
However, it should be noted that Julian Lennon will keep the physical objects in his possession. The purchaser will only have a one-time right to the NFT
Many artists have joined the NFT industry
Other celebrities have jumped into the non-fungible token business. Recently, former Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne launched his first NFTs collection, CryptoBatz.
Pop star Katy Perry has also created a series of NFTs in conjunction with her “Play” show.
Finally, it is important to note that with NFTs, music streaming is changing to give artists more independence. This is the project of the music platform Audius, which has raised nearly 5 million dollars from Kate Perry, The Chainsmokers and Nas.
