HOMELESSNESS charity Crisis is auctioning off a giant pair of signed Pink Floyd eyeballs.
The pair is one of ten specially commissioned pairs, used on the cover of their recent DVD Pulse and will be sold on eBay from December 14 until December 20.
The proceeds will provide much-needed funds for the homeless this Christmas.
The eyeballs will be auctioned off on eBay from the 14-20 of December with all proceeds going to the national homelessness charity Crisis.
Interested parties can view the lot by simply going to music > music memorabilia > artists/groups > Pink Floyd.
David Gilmour, of Pink Floyd, who is a well known supporter of the work of Crisis, said: "The eBay auction will not only raise much needed funds for the charity but will also raise awareness of the plight of the homeless at a time of year when they are
most vulnerable."
The eyeballs, approx six feet high, have been signed by all members of the band and as well as featuring on the front cover of the DVD, were used as stage props on the recent press screening for the DVD.
The Pulse DVD features the one and only filmed appearance of their legendary album ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’.
The eBay auction will coincide with the TV transmission of Pink Floyd’s ‘A Performance of The Dark Side of the Moon’ - filmed at Earls Court in 1994 and which forms part of the ‘Pulse’ DVD.
The broadcast is scheduled for the 15th December on BBC1.
