An original concert poster for a Marvin Gaye performance scheduled at the Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool, on Wednesday 23 January 1980, which was ultimately cancelled. The cancellation resulted from a combination of severe personal difficulties, including escalating cocaine addiction, paranoia, and significant mental health struggles. At the time, Gaye was living in self-imposed exile in Europe to avoid the Internal Revenue Service in the United States, but he soon encountered similar financial and legal difficulties in the United Kingdom due to lavish spending and unpaid taxes. The poster measures 76.2 x 50.8 cm The condition of the poster is excellent
