The first anniversary of Payne’s death has renewed attention from collectors to personal artifacts.

Overview

  • Omega Auctions has listed the handwritten note for its music memorabilia sale on December 2.
  • The auction house estimates the piece at between £5,000 and £10,000, according to the official listing.
  • Written in December 2017 around the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball in London, the note praises Payne’s solo track “Bedroom Floor” and offers encouragement.
