| John Lennon |
A SHIRT stained with John Lennon’s blood from the night he was murdered has been sold for £31,000 (over N9million naira; depending on how much your pounds cost.
Concierge Jay Hastings was wearing the white shirt as part of his uniform at the Dakota building in New York when Lennon was shot by deranged fan Mark Chapman.
The former Beatle stumbled through the door and Mr Hastings rushed to help him.
Some of Lennon’s blood then soaked into his shirt, still visible today on the chest and sleeves.
The piece of memorabilia was sold on Saturday by the former porter and smashed its £7,000 estimate.

There is also a Thanksgiving card from the family dated 1978 with a printed message, signatures from John, Yoko and Sean, and a typed letter from Yoko two weeks after her husband’s death thanking the staff for their support.
