Music legend Elton John's heart-shaped glasses were stolen from a display case at a Memphis museum.

Officials from the US museum said that they noticed the famous eyewear was missing on April 21, although the display case showcasing John's shades appears not to have been disturbed, reported TMZ.

"This is the first theft from an exhibit in the Rock 'n' Soul Museum's 15-year history!," the Rock 'n' Soul Museum commented on Facebook.

The white-rimmed glasses are said to be worth around USD 2,000 and were taken from a 60 Years Of Rock exhibition within the centre.

John, 68, is renowned for his flamboyant dress and luminous accessories and these glasses became synonymous with his performances during the '70s.
