Muse add drum kit to Haiti auction
Posted on 27 Jan 2010 18:45 to category : Instruments News
Muse have donated the drum kit used by the band on their live tours between 2006 and 2008 to an online charity auction.
A host of musical stars have already donated items to the Oxfam appeal, which is attempting to raise money for victims of the Haiti earthquake.
Along with the Muse drum kit, other items up for grabs to the highest bidder include the Fender Stratocasterguitar used by Alex Turner in Arctic Monkeys' video I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor, as well as Chris Martin's Viva La Vida tour jacket.
Mark Ronson has also just put up the guitar he played in the video for Valerie, a cover of a song by The Zutons that he performed with Amy Winehouse.
Bidding on Turner's Fender Stratocaster has reached £3,000, while offers for the Muse drum kit have already passed the £500 mark, despite it only being placed on eBay today (January 27th 2010).
