George Michael memorabilia auction sparks a family row

The top lot in the 32-item Sworders sale, set for Thursday, is the guitar from his 1987 Faith video, with a guide price of £60,000 to £120,000.

The items belonged to his late assistant Siobhan Bailey. Her brother wants the sale stopped, but the collection legally passed to her widower.

Expected for the archive

£200,000 or more

The auction house expects the whole archive to fetch more than £200,000.
