The King’s Trust and Julien’s Auctions have announced a major benefit auction to mark the charity’s 50th anniversary.
Headlined by The Phil Collins Archive—generously donated by Phil and Jill Collins—the landmark sale features rare memorabilia alongside high-profile donations from music and screen icons including Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Mick Jagger, Sir Elton John, Sir Ringo Starr, Robert Plant, Sir Brian May, Muse, George and Amal Clooney, Daniel Craig, and Al Pacino.
Online bidding is now open ahead of the live auction taking place in Los Angeles on November 19, 2026. Proceeds will directly support The King’s Trust in its mission to help young people facing adversity gain access to work, education, and training.
At the core of the auction is Phil Collins, who became the charity's very first Ambassador four decades ago. Highlights from his personal collection include his stage-worn outfit from the historic 1985 Live Aid concert at Wembley Stadium, handwritten working lyrics for the Genesis hit "That's All," and his screen-worn suit from Miami Vice. Collins reflected on the milestone, noting that supporting young people through the charity over the past 40 years has been one of the most rewarding experiences of his life.
The sale also features significant contributions from across the entertainment world, bringing the Trust's history full circle.
Global rock band Muse, who received a grant from the charity early in their career to purchase their first PA system, have donated a signed Manson electric guitar from their Drones World Tour. Other standout lots include Sir Paul McCartney's stage-worn vegan leather boots from Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee, Sir Elton John’s signature rose-tinted Cutler and Gross sunglasses, a custom stage-worn shirt from Sir Mick Jagger, and a signed Gibson Les Paul Junior guitar from Yungblud.
A selection of auction highlights will be on public display at The Peninsula Beverly Hills on November 13, prior to the live sale on November 19.
