Stevie Wonder reportedly paid £15,000 to buy back a stolen Grammy Award he won in 1974.
The Motown legend never reported the theft so when the award appeared on internet auction website eBay the police were unable to intervene, and Stevie was forced to join the bidding war, reports Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper.
Stevie, 56, has won a record-breaking 22 solo artist Grammy Awards, but the missing trophy was said to hold special value to him.
Stevie won the 1974 Best Album award for 'Innervisions', just months after waking up from a coma following a car crash in 1973. The star regained consciousness after four days but lost his sense of smell.
The award was on offer at California's Profiles In History auction house and was also carried live on the website for someone who had reportedly bought it in New York last June.
