Billie Eilish, Robert Plant, Brandon Flowers Donate To MusiCares Auction

Billie Eilish, Robert Plant and The Killers' Brandon Flowers are three notable names donating "one-of-a-kind" items to Julien's Auctions for a special event. The "MusiCares Relief Fund Auction" takes place September 9, with all proceeds going to the MusiCares Relief Fund to provide support for music industry workers who have fallen on hard times during the coronavirus pandemic.

Though the specific pieces up for grabs have not yet been listed, other stars including Barbra Streisand, Blake Shelton, Cher, Depeche Mode, Hans Zimmer, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Willie Nelson have also committed to donate rare memorabilia for the charitable cause.

"In this new world of social distancing and isolation, music and the arts has brought us together and given us hope and salvation from the despair and loss that we’ve all felt these last months," Julien's Auctions President/Chief Executive Officer Darren Julien said in a statement. "We thank Bill Wyman for his generous offering and are calling on all artists from film, music, sports, fashion and more to look into their closets and archives and donate an iconic item or two to this urgent initiative."

Julien's Auctions "Music Icons" event is currently underway, and includes Kurt Cobain's legendary acoustic guitar used during Nirvana's iconic MTV Unplugged set. At time of writing, the instrument is going for $1 million, with bidding set to end at 10am PST on Friday (June 19). If you've got $1,000,001 lying around you can put in your bid here.
