Island Records coronavirus auction: Amy Winehouse's stilettos and Sean Paul's jacket among items

Amy Winehouse ( John Marshall )

Celebrity clothing, hand-written lyrics and VIP concert tickets are among the items up for grabs in an auction being run by Island Records to raise funds for charities amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Money raised by the One Love Covid-19 Relief Auction will go to NHS Charities Together in the UK and Feeding America in the US.

Highlights of the auction include a pair of stilettos worn by Amy Winehouse and jackets and shoes from Sean Paul’s wardrobe.

Handwritten lyrics by Bono and Annie Lennox are also available, along with Giggs’s 2010 Mobo award for best hip-hop artist.

The event will be hosted by Billy Porter and will be broadcast live from 6pm BST on 21 May.

All lots are available to view and place bids on via an online catalogue, which can be found here.

Last month, a host of film props were auctioned off by distribution company A24 to raise money for the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. A jewel-encrusted Furby pendant from Uncut Gems and the hoodie worn by Zendaya in HBO’s coming-of-age series Euphoria were two of the most eye-catching items on offer.
