Perla Hudson, the ex-wife of iconic Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, is selling off rare memorabilia from their 14-year marriage. The items being sold date from the early ’80s, where Slash began cutting his teeth as a musician on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood to the late ’90s where Slash had established himself as a bonafide rockstar.
Precious items up for grabs include RIAA gold record awards, GN’R collectables, inscribed books from celebrity friends, “cool graphics” t-shirts, gothic furniture and perhaps most importantly, one of Slash’s many top hats.
There will also be a few naughtier items up for grabs. Including a bronze and leather upholstered “Tally Ho” chair and spanking bench designed by Mark Brazier-Jones.
The items being actioned will be exhibited at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York City’s Times Square from May 13th to 17th. Bidding can be made either in person or through the Julien’s Auctions website on May 17-18.
“Perla and Slash were the ultimate rock and roll couple,” shared Darren Julien, President/Chief Executive Officer of Julien’s Auctions. “The items in this collection not only personify the sensational love affair and life of this dramatic and glamorous couple but will add tremendous value and bragging rights to any serious rock fan’s collection of memorabilia owned by one of rock and roll’s greatest guitar gods, Slash.”
Perla and Slash were married in 2001. The pair have had two sons together, London Emilio and Cash Anthony born in 2002 and 2004. Their relationship was documented in the 2007 E! TV show True Hollywood Story: Rock Star Wives.
Back in February, Slash revealed that Guns N’ Roses were in the process of working on a new record, their first since 2008’s Chinese Democracy.
“Axl, Duff, myself and Richard have all talked about… there’s material and stuff going on already for a new record,” he said. “It’s just, with Guns N’ Roses, you don’t go, ‘Oh, there is a plan, and it’s gonna be like this,’ because that’s not how it works. So, basically, the only real answer to give is we’re hoping to put a new record out, and we’ll just see what happens when it happens,” said Slash in an interview with TVK’s Rock City.
