To mark the influence of these music giants, online auction house Catawiki will host sales dedicated to the Liverpool lads, The King and Ziggy Stardust (Aladdin Sane, or The Thin Duke - depending on who you're more of a fan of.)
6th April: The Beatles
From the 1960s onwards The Beatles dominated the world's music scene of the 20th century. From rock 'n' roll to Indian-inspired psychedelic sounds the foursome played an incredible role in shaping modern and contemporary music.
Lennon, McCartney, Starr and Harrison's last live performance as the Beatles took place on January 30, 1969, on the roof of the Apple studio on Savile Row, London.
7th April: Elvis Presley
Elvis Aaron Presley (1935-1977) was and is the most successful solo artists in the world, having sold more than 1 billion records worldwide, rightly earning him the title of the "King of Rock 'n' Roll."
His career began in the 1950s as one of the first representatives of the Rockabilly, with his gyrating performances and velvety soft voice he became a global star. In the 1960s, he starred and sang in numerous Hollywood movies, and then touring again at the end of the decade.
Following his untimely death at the age of 42, Presley's Graceland estate in Memphis, Tennessee, has since become a pilgrimage site for his fans.
9th April: David Bowie
When David Bowie passed away at the beginning of last year, he left behind a legacy. His music combined art, high fashion whilst squashing outdated notions of gender and sexuality. Bowie's career was marked by his changeability and his love for reinvention. Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, The Thin Duke: all of David Bowie's alter egos had a different image, sound and vision.
Even legends have their heroes, Bowie put his world tour on hold and flew from London to New York to attend Elvis Presley's Madison Square Garden concert.
