Outfits worn by Arctic Monkeys on their video acceptance speeches shown at last months Brit Awards are to be auctioned off by Christie's. As possibly previously reported, the band appeared in the first video - their acceptance speech for Best British Group - dressed as characters from The Wizard Of Oz, and in the second - for Best British Album - dressed as the members of The Village People. There is no construction worker's outfit, however, as the person who appeared in that acceptance video was not the band's guitarist Nick O'Malley but a real life construction worker asked to appear as a joke.
The seven outfits, being auctioned by an anonymous seller, are expected to raise in the region of £600-£800 as one lot in Christie's pop memorabilia sale taking place on 26 Apr in London. Other lots going on sale that day include a Gibson guitar once used by Marc Bolan and a costume worn by David Bowie during his last Ziggy Stardust performance back in 1973.
