Spectacles belonging to late rocker John Lennon are expected to fetch $2 million at an online auction. The prized items went on sale on Thursday on music memorabilia website www.991.com. The last pair of Lennon's glasses sold in 2002 are insured for $2 million.

The former Beatle gave a pair of gold rimmed glasses to Japanese translator Junishi Yore during the band's 1966 tour of Japan. The glasses come without the lenses as Yore took them out as a sign of respect when he heard of Lennon's murder in 1980 - as tradition dictates in Japan.

The glasses come with a note from Yore, which reads, "He (Lennon) gave me this ... very nice man. Lenses removed when he die." The auction closes at the end of the month.
