Willie Nelson's braids have sold for $37,000 at a one-off auction in Phoenix, Arizona.

The sale took place at the estate sale of late country icon Waylon Jennings, with Nelson reportedly presenting the strange gift to the singer a party thrown by June and Johnny Cash to celebrate his sobriety in 1983.

The lucky buyer of the braids was not revealed, and the hair itself was just one of 2000 items on sale, with other lots including Buddy Holly's motorcycle, Muhhamed Ali's boxing gloves, handwritten lyrics from the singer and a personal letter sent to Jenkins from John Lennon.

Watch the video for Nelson's 'Always On My Mind' below:

Earlier this week it was revealed that Willie Nelson will be featuring on Foo Fighters' forthcoming eighth album Sonic Highways, alongside the likes of Dolly Parton, ZZ Top, The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach and a host of others.

Nelson's specific role on the album is yet to be revealed, however Sonic Highways is released on 10 November.
