Lady Gaga, Amy Winehouse letters to Tony Bennett offered at auction

[blackpink 13,831]

i’m…shocked this is all being sold publicly. i wonder if Gaga will buy back many of these letters/notes as they are quite personal.

They’re selling Gar’s frank sinatra tribute hattttt

Is this something his family put up for sale?? Otherwise I don't see how other people got their hands on these letters.

I know it looks bad, but it's the best way to preserve these items.

yes, his estate - son Danny Bennett. he also sold Tony's catalog including royalties, publishing, name and image likeness rights this month

How does this work when he still had a living wife and children?  Wouldn't they get his possessions?

I hope whoever buys these takes good care of them, especially the one from MLK

This is so wrong 

he just passed, they are already milking every penny, Gaga must be so mad

It's his estate owners selling these.

Obviously this isn’t out of the norm and generally happens with most high profile celebrities after passing but his son seems hell bent on liquidating everything in his father’s estate. Like they can’t be strapped for cash surely?!

It's probably wise to think about everything his family will have kept. I'm sure in such a long life there's many more items like these and there surely will be plenty of the most important that the family will have kept.

Not sure who's benefitting from this sale, but this is making me uncomfortable.

[Schwerk 6,490]

If I was in their position, I would've lovingly returned the letters to the people that are still alive, like Gaga, for her to leave to her future children for example. 

I understand Tony's legacy has monetary value, but I'm suprised at personal notes like these being made public and sold.

This is so strange. I've bid on prop items before but this feels too intrusive. I wonder if Gaga will try and buy something back for herself. They're selling these as well: 

This is too ****ing far selling someone's nudes what the **** what sort of sicko is buying this **** 

[SimonBaetens 3,584]

Wow these are beautiful… also I want that Haus Of Gaga notepad

[JazzGa 14,348]

I think it's interesting to compare how Gaga's handwriting is sometimes really fancy and extra and ArTEEST-y, like she expects some things to be eventually seen by the public like the sheet music messages, but on the florist's notes her handwriting looks more normal for a more intimate note
