Prince has finally parted ways with his beloved gold guitar after motor racing star Lewis Hamilton bid for it at auction.
The Formula 1 hunk, who is dating Prince's pal Nicole Scherzinger, bought the custom-made Fender Stratocaster for $100,000 (Gbp62,500) at a charity auction, and the Purple Rain hitmaker recently confessed it would be hard to let the instrument go.
But the one-of-a-kind guitar, which Prince has been using on the Welcome 2 America Live tour, is now winging its way to Hamilton.
The race ace bought the guitar after his hero pulled him up onstage during a recent show in Dubai and serenaded Scherzinger while playing it.
