HOPE I DIE BEFORE I GET SOLD 
May 9 2003

GOING once, going twicehalf a million quids worth of
Who star John Entwistles treasured belongings.

Theres a rare Gibson Explorer guitar and a classic
Gibson Flying V, one of which is likely to raise up to
#70,000.

Also up for grabs are a set of his caricture drawings
of the band, one of the rockers flamboyant jackets 
for #500  a spider pendant and a deep sea divers
helmet.

Then theres Entwistles collection of fish, stuffed
ones and ornamental models, which hung all around his
Cotswolds home.

The memorabilia goes on sale at Sothebys auction
house in London on Tuesday, nearly a year after the
57-year-old bassists death. The cash will go to his
estate.

But Entwistles girfriend Lisa Prichett-Johnson may
find herself having to bid for some of the gear,
despite being with him for 13 years.

Financial wrangling means she has already been kicked
out of the mansion she shared with the star. He
divided his estate equally between her, his son
Christopher, 31, and his 80-year-old mum Queenie.

Lisa claims he was going to change his will so she
could stay on in the 52-room house. She is now in a
cottage on the 42-acre site.

Entwistle, nicknamed The Ox, was found dead in a Las
Vegas hotel room after a drug-fuelled romp with a
stripper last June.
