Hard Day’s Fright Beatles fan keeps George Harrison head in a cupboard.. along with Britney and Diana
HELP! The owner of a scary collection of waxwork heads is selling off the bonce of Beatles guitar legend George Harrison.
Colin Hill bought it for less than £200 five years ago and keeps it in a cabinet along with the heads of Britney Spears, Winston Churchill and a barely recognisable Princess Diana.
And the Fab Four fan hopes to make thousands if his sale plan can Come Together.
Retired hospital worker Colin, 59, waxes lyrical about his collection. He says: “At the auction they also had Ringo’s head but I was outbid for that. I don’t know what happened to Paul and John’s heads.
STOREROOM
“It would have been nice to get both of them. They were from Madame Tussauds and had been left in a storeroom.
“I’ve got dealers interested in Harrison. I obtained a copy of a Madame Tussauds photo showing the head displayed with the other Beatles.
“A card says ‘rare waxwork of the Beatles in Sgt.
Pepper period’. It looks like it’s from around that time. It would be interesting to know what it’s worth, especially as it’s been ‘lost’ for all these years.”
In 2005 a full set of
Beatles wax heads in
Sgt. Pepper mode sold for £81,500.
Sunday Mirror antiques expert Jamie
Breese said it is difficult to put a value on the Harrison head.
He said: “This is an unusual piece and is going to be of interest. In terms of value, this may be unique so is particularly tricky when it comes to appraising. It is most likely a case of letting the market decide the value.”
The Beatles were the first band to appear in Madame Tussauds’ London museum, in 1964.
Colin, of Cheam, South West London, also has heads of Albert Finney, Sylvester Stallone as Rocky, ex-US President Ronald Reagan and David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust.
But he has no plans to say Hello Goodbye to any of them just yet.
