Man given pair of trousers by Jimi Hendrix says they're worthless after he had them altered

A man who was given a pair of trousers by Jimi Hendrix which could have sold for up to 25K today says they are worthless - after he had them altered so he could WEAR them. Stunned Mickey Martin, 73, was handed the red suede strides by the legendary guitarist during a gig in Cheltenham, Glos., in February 1967. Mickey, then 21, was working at the venue and couldn't believe his luck when Hendrix gave him the distinctive trousers for fetching him drinks all night. In 2018 a pair of Jimi's trousers sold at auction for £25K. But Mickey has revealed they lost a lot of the value when he decided to have them taken up three inches - so he could wear them out on the town.
