Donating items to a charity auction...
Coldplay and Sir Elton John are amongst the musical stars donating memorabilia to raise money for Oxfam’s Darfur and Chad appeal.
Chris Martin is putting forward a black Dolce and Gabbana jacket, while the Rocket Man is donating his famous Donatella Versace suit he wore to his White Tie and Tiara ball in 2000.
Meanwhile, Corinne Bailey-Rae has donated her Red dress worn on the video for her smash single ‘Put Your Record On.’
The auction is being held online via eBay and takes place for ten days with the aim of raising over £500,000 for the worthy charity.
Speaking of his donation, Sir Elton John said: “Try to imagine living in a tiny shelter made out of straw, dry branches and plastic sheeting with the sun baking down on you at 45 degrees. For most of us that's beyond imagination. Right now there are two million people living in camps in Darfur and on the border with Chad. Oxfam is helping 500,000 people providing basic sanitation and clean drinking water but to reach more people they need our help."
Other putting lots forward are artist Tracey Emin, actress Sienna Miller and the script for the Oscar winning film The Queen.
