COLDPLAY have revealed the tempting full catalogue for their upcoming End Of Decade auction.
The band are selling off instruments, clothes, artwork and memorabilia to raise money for charidee, mate.
The strangest bit of gear I spotted for sale is their muddy Wellington boots from their second Glastonbury appearance in 2000.
I'm amazed they ever kept them at all, but they were stored after the show.
CHRIS MARTIN and Co warn any bidders this will be the smelliest lot.
But I noticed they are also selling guitarist JONNY BUCKLAND's cap which he wore every night on the Viva La Vida tour. That's got to be kicking up a bit.
They are also flogging their stage jackets, which cannot be fresh.
All cash raised from the auction - running from today until December 31 - is going to the band's favorite charity Kids Company.
I’m not going to lie, there’s plenty of awesome things they are selling.
I also took the liberty to find the catalogue and some information about the Kid’s Company.
About Kids Company
The entire proceeds of Coldplay's End of Decade Clearout Sale will go
directly to Kids Company.
Kids Company was founded in 1996. The charity's aim is to provide
practical, emotional and educational support to vulnerable inner-city
children and young people in London.
Many of the 14,000 children reached by Kids Company’s services have
experienced severe and multiple trauma. Often these are "lone
children" living in chronic deprivation, with little or no support and
face the daily anxieties of caring for their family as the role of
parent and child is reversed.
The charity gives them hope by providing a safe, caring, nurturing
environment where support is tailored to the needs of each individual.
Their aim is to empower children, who have experienced enormous
challenges, to lead positive lives. They offer unrelenting love for
every child, whatever it takes.
Kids Company's staff are constantly inspired by the courage and
dignity expressed by vulnerable children in the face of overwhelming
challenges, and in everything they do, the child is put first.
In 2007 Kids Company was awarded the Liberty and JUSTICE Human Rights Award.
