Mick Taylor Claims Rolling Stones ‘Stolen' Guitar Is In New York Museum
The guitar, a 1959 Les Paul, was recently donated to a museum, but former Rolling Stones member, Taylor Mick, claims the instrument was stolen decades ago. A rare guitar has sparked a dispute between former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor and New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The instrument in question, a 1959 Gibson Les Paul, was recently donated to the museum by billionaire collector Dirk Ziff, as part of a collection of over 500 vintage American guitars. However, Taylor claims the guitar was stolen from him decades ago. He says he last saw it in 1971 at a villa in southern France, where the Rolling Stones were staying at the time. According to Taylor, several of the band's belongings mysteriously disappeared during their stay, and he believes this guitar may have been among the missing items. Now, Taylor and his partner, business manager Marlies Damming, believe the long-lost guitar has resurfaced. As per Associated Press, the pair is now asking the museum to make the guitar 'available for inspection" so they can take a closer look and confirm its identity. Speaking with the portal, Damming said, 'An independent guitar expert should be able to ascertain the guitar's provenance one way or the other." However, following Mick Taylor and Marlies Damming's claims, the Metropolitan Museum of Art responded, saying that there is no proof the guitar ever belonged to a Rolling Stones member. A museum spokesperson, Ann Bailis, said, 'This guitar has a long and well-documented history of ownership." According to the Met, the provenance records, which track the guitar's past owners, do not show Taylor's name at any point. Met's spokesperson further mentioned that the 1959 Les Paul guitar was owned by Keith Richards until 1971. After that, it was reportedly acquired by record producer and manager Adrian Miller, who kept it until his death in 2006. Jeff Allen, who worked closely with Mick Taylor as his manager and publicist since the 1990s, shared what Taylor had once told him. Taylor said the guitar was a gift from Keith Richards. He also spoke about how the guitar went missing. According to Allen, Taylor used that same guitar to record the famous song Can't You Hear Me Knocking, which became one of his most well-known performances. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Anant Ambani has India's best watch collection; Shah Rukh Khan's Met Gala 2025 watch priced at Rs 21 cr, Salman Khan also owns rare pieces
From high-end cars and superbikes to designer jewellery and luxury fashion, every Indian celebrity seems to have their own obsession. But if there's one thing a large number of A-listers are unanimously fixated on, it's luxury watches. Not only are they symbols of status and style, but they're also considered smart long-term investments. But what kind of watches do our stars own? Attesting that, here as well, Shah Rukh Khan is the undisputed 'king' among Bollywood celebrities, Karan Vaidya from luxury jewellery brand Rose told The Hollywood Reporter India that the watch SRK wore to the Met Gala 2025 cost USD 2.5 million (Rs 21 crore) retail, with its price in the secondary market ranking much higher. Reportedly, he wore a state-of-the-art Patek Philippe Grand Complications 6300G for the event. Although Shah Rukh Khan has been reigning over the Indian entertainment industry for decades, it was only in 2025 that he made his Met Gala debut. He arrived for the event in an all-black suit by Sabyasachi Mukherjee, which consisted of high-waisted trousers with kamarbandh, a black silk shirt, and a tailcoat. Vaidya stated that Salman Khan, too, has an amazing collection comprising a Patek Philippe minute repeater that's fully sapphire-studded. Calling Sanjay Dutt the 'OG watch collector' in Bollywood, he said that the Munna Bhai actor owns a Roger Dubuis Dual Tourbillon and a Rolex Leopard. Vaidya revealed that Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh also possess an amazing collection of watches. He, however, maintained that among all Indians, Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's son Anant Ambani has the best watch collection. 'Now, people are not just looking at what the standard watches that other people are wearing — because, of course, those are part of a status symbol — but truly unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. Indian celebrities are now really getting into watches,' he added. He also revealed that, unlike popular perception, Rolex is not part of the Holy Trinity of Watches, and the ones that are collectively referred to by this title are Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe. 'A lot of (foreign luxury) watch brands don't sell in India because the duty and tax structure is very high. The duty for wrist watches in India is 22 per cent, which is one of the highest in the world. In places like Singapore and Dubai, it's less than 5 per cent. Then, on top of that, we have a GST of 18%. And if the watch costs above Rs 10 lakh, then there's also a TCS of 1 per cent on the transaction,' he pointed out. A post shared by Pooja Dadlani Gurnani (@poojadadlani02) A post shared by Pooja Dadlani Gurnani (@poojadadlani02) Speaking about product placement in movies, Vaidya noted that it is done systematically in Hollywood, but not as much in Bollywood. 'For example, the makers of the show Made in Heaven partnered with Bvlgari where all their products were seen in different scenes. In Hollywood, the first product placement to have ever happened was James Bond wearing an Omega watch. That was very successful, and now, with every James Bond film, Omega launches a new watch. When the product is created specifically for the character, that works really well,' he pointed out.
