Elton John auction to feature singer's 70s platform boots, piano and more

Christie's is auctioning off $10 million worth of Elton John's items, curated from his former Atlanta penthouse. The auction includes 1970s outfits and pieces of artwork.

Christie's auction house will soon host a sale of $10 million worth of Elton John's items. 

The auction begins on Feb. 21 and Christie's is currently hosting a free exhibit in its New York City location until eight sessions of auctioning begin.

The items were collected from John's former Atlanta penthouse, which he listed for sale last fall for nearly $5 million. The property sold weeks later for more than $7 million, The Wall Street Journal reported in November.
