Indianapolis Colts owner and avid rock memorabilia enthusiast Jim Irsay has added another special piece to his collection.

Irsay paid $137,500 for the Yellow Cloud electric guitar that Prince used at numerous concerts until the mid-1990s at an auction in Beverley Hills on Saturday, according to the Associated Press.

Prince died on April 21 from an accidental overdose of fentanyl.

Irsay's collection also includes instruments that were once owned by Jerry Garcia of Grateful Dead, John Lennon and Ringo Star of The Beatles, and Bob Dylan.
