LONDON, April 20 (UPI) -- The British auction of possessions owned by the late John Entwistle is distressing The Who legend's 80-year-old mother.
The Thursday sale will include some 700 of Entwistle's possessions once housed in his 55-room mansion, the Mirror said Wednesday.
Items being offered are his pinball machine, rolltop desk where he wrote songs, a chess set featuring Adolf Hitler and two life-size skeletons kept at the 45-acre Quarwood estate in Stow-on-the-Wold, Glos.
"Seeing it all piled up here ready to be sold is very sad," said his mother, known as Queenie. "I don't know if I shall have the heart to attend the sale. It will be just too upsetting. I had all these things around me for the 20 years I lived at Quarwood with John."
Entwistle, 57, died three years ago during a cocaine binge in Las Vegas.
