Zach Bryan<\/strong><\/a> just dropped some serious cash on a literary treasure … shelling out a whopping $12 million for Jack Kerouac<\/strong>\u2019s legendary “On The Road” scroll at the auction of Jim Irsay<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s memorabilia collection this month.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The country star snagged the iconic manuscript during Christie\u2019s New York sale … which tracks, considering Zach bought the Saint Jean Baptiste Church in Lowell, Mass. last year … with plans to turn it into a museum dedicated to the legendary American novelist and poet.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

The typescript scroll of Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road” was estimated to go for around $2.5 million … but Zach ended up paying $12,135,000.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

The scroll — Kerouac famously taped paper together in one long roll so he wouldn’t have to keep reloading pages into his typewriter as he wrote furiously — was part of the massive pop culture collection owned by late philanthropist and Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, who died last year<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Irsay\u2019s stash proved a huge draw for collectors … with the first night alone featuring 44 lots that raked in more than $89 million.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Plenty of other big-ticket items went under the hammer too — including Kurt Cobain<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s guitar, John Lennon<\/strong><\/a>‘s piano, Jerry Garcia<\/strong><\/a>‘s guitar, and a mix of rare sports and music memorabilia. Safe to say Irsay\u2019s collection brought out some seriously deep pockets.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
