BILLY PRESIDES OVER ISLAND AUCTION

Bono’s handwritten lyrics for “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” Jon Bon Jovi's for "Livin' on a Prayer" and "Wanted Dead of Alive," a guitar signed by Shawn Mendes: and VIP tickets to see Sam Smith live in the U.K. are among the items Island Records is auctioning to support NHS Charities Together and Feeding America.

Billy Porter, who just released a cover of Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth," will be the host of the One Love COVID-19 Relief Auction, livestreaming on 5/21 beginning at 1pm ET/10am PT. Besides hosting the auction, Billy is writing his memoir and working on a musical and a pilot, he told Trevor Noah Wednesday night (see the video below).

To bid on the lots, register in advance with Omega Auctions. All lots are available to view and place bids on via an online catalog.

In addition to Bono’s handwritten lyrics, which are currently leading the auction, other items include a pair of stilettos worn by Amy Winehouse and all her albums on vinyl; handwritten lyrics to “Sweet Dreams” written and signed by Annie Lennox; a rare Mr. Brainwash/Bob Marley print signed by Ziggy Marley; and a Portishead Dummy-era care package.
