After 14 years of togetherness, one of rock’s most enigmatic marriages has officially come to an end. Slash, the top-hatted guitar god of Guns N’ Roses, and Perla Hudson are finally closing the book on a relationship that played out as dramatically in courtrooms as it once did behind the gates of their Beverly Hills mansion. And now, in a move guaranteed to ignite headlines and collectors’ frenzy alike, Perla Hudson has decided to auction off a trove of deeply personal and undeniably bizarre items collected during their wedding and life together.
This is not your average celebrity divorce sale.
According to sources close to the situation, the items had been stored for years inside the couple’s sprawling Los Angeles mansion, untouched relics of a union that survived fame, excess, legal warfare, and public scrutiny before ultimately collapsing under its own weight. With the legal battles now behind them, Perla is ready to let go — and the world is getting a front-row seat to one of rock history’s strangest clear-outs.
Among the most talked-about pieces are objects that feel pulled straight from the dark mythology of rock ’n’ roll itself: a bronze-and-leather spanking bench, a coffin-shaped guitar case, and a series of custom-made furnishings and memorabilia that blur the line between art, provocation, and private ritual. These aren’t props. These are real artifacts from the home life of one of rock’s most iconic musicians.
The spanking bench, rumored to be handcrafted and more sculptural than functional, has already become the symbol of the auction a lightning rod for both shock and fascination. Paired with it is the coffin-shaped guitar case, an item that feels almost too on-the-nose for Slash, whose image has long been tied to deathless riffs, gothic imagery, and the eternal afterlife of rock stardom. Insiders say the case was custom-built to protect a prized instrument and was rarely seen outside the mansion’s private rooms.
But that’s only the beginning.
The memorabilia list reportedly includes handwritten notes exchanged during their wedding period, custom jewelry pieces designed specifically for Perla, rare Guns N’ Roses tour passes, signed setlists, and personal décor items chosen jointly during the early, more hopeful years of their marriage. There are framed photographs never released to the public, decorative skull motifs sourced from European collectors, and even pieces of stage-worn clothing carefully preserved like museum artifacts.
For ans, the auction is more than a chance to own a piece of Slash’s world it’s an intimate glimpse behind the curtain of a marriage that often appeared glamorous on the outside and turbulent beneath the surface.
Slash and Perla married in 2001, during a period when the guitarist was navigating shifting band lineups, addiction recovery, and the long shadow of Guns N’ Roses’ chaotic legacy. Perla, a former model and designer, became a constant presence at his side, raising two sons and frequently defending their relationship against relentless media speculation. To outsiders, they looked unbreakable. Inside, cracks were forming.
Their separation sparked years of legal back-and-forth, with finances, custody, and property becoming battlegrounds. Court documents painted a picture of a relationship strained by fame, lifestyle differences, and unresolved resentment. What once symbolized rock royalty slowly became a cautionary tale of love under pressure.
Now, the auction feels like a final, decisive exhale.
“This isn’t about revenge,” one source claims. “It’s about closure. These items carry memories good and bad and Perla wants them out of her life.”
Collectors, however, see something else entirely: history.
Rock memorabilia auctions have always thrived on controversy, but this one carries an especially intimate charge. These aren’t stage-used guitars or platinum records. They’re domestic artifacts — pieces of a private world fans were never meant to see. And that intimacy is precisely what’s driving the hype.
Experts predict bidding wars, particularly for the coffin-shaped guitar case and select handwritten items connected to Slash’s creative process. Anything tied directly to Guns N’ Roses lore has historically commanded staggering prices, and the added layer of marital mythology only amplifies the appeal.
For Slash, the auction reportedly represents a chapter fully closed. In recent years, he has focused on music, touring, and maintaining a more grounded personal life. Friends say he’s aware of the sale but has chosen not to intervene, viewing it as a necessary part of moving forward.
For Perla, it’s a reclaiming of narrative.
By turning deeply personal relics into public artifacts, she’s transforming pain into autonomy and, undeniably, into spectacle. It’s a move that ensures this divorce won’t quietly fade into footnotes but will instead be etched into rock culture alongside the legends, scandals, and excess that defined an era.
As the auction date approaches, one thing is certain: fans, collectors, and critics alike will be watching closely. Because when a rock marriage ends like this with coffins, leather, and ghosts of love past it doesn’t just conclude.
It detonates.
And once the gavel falls, these relics of Slash and Perla Hudson’s once-unbreakable union will scatter across the world, each carrying a fragment of a love story that burned bright, burned hard and ultimately burned out.
