Sir Elton John has
placed one of his most famous pianos up for auction on
eBay to raise funds for the
Aids charity which he founded.
The iconic Yamaha DC6A Pro digital acoustic 6ft 11in grand piano, played by
the star at a variety of special events surrounding his hit shows in Las Vegas,
will be sold off to support the
Elton John Aids Foundation.
The famous grand piano, nicknamed 'Fiona', was on display in the Colosseum
Lobby at
Caesars
Palace in Las Vegas.
Sir Elton will play the piano for the final time at the 14th Annual Elton
John Aids Foundation Viewing Dinner and After-Party to celebrate the
Academy Awards on 5 March
in Los Angeles.
The singer will then autograph the piano in preparation for delivery to the
lucky auction winner.
"The charity auction of this one-of-a-kind piano on eBay offers a unique
opportunity for a fan or collector to own a major piece of music history while
raising funds to support the critical work of prevention, education and
treatment of Aids," said Scott Campbell, director of the Elton John Aids
Foundation.
The charity auction will begin on Monday 27 February and conclude on Thursday
9 March.
