(Music Radar) A payslip allegedly bearing the signature of the woman who inspired The Beatles' Eleanor Rigby sold Wednesday (26 November) for �115,000.

The auction took place despite the fact that The Beatles' songwriter Paul McCartney denied any suggestion that the document 'solved' a puzzle, as he says the character was entirely fictitious.

The seller, Annie Mawson, had hoped the item would raise up to �500,000. She said McCartney's office sent her the document after she wrote asking for a donation for a music therapy centre. - more on this story
