Teenage Cancer Trust: Limited Damien Hirst Print And Signed Adidas Trainers

During his live radio show with Russell Brand on Xfm this evening Noel Gallagher announced two further donations to help the Teenage Cancer Trust as part of the week of concerts at the Royal Albert Hall this week

Damien Hirst has donated a limited edition print (pictured), which is set to raise up to £30,000 at auction. The stunning artwork, called Mantra, is a diamond dusted silk screen print of butterfly wings, from an edition of 50 and signed by the artist. It will go under the hammer at Bonhams London on the 17th July to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Additionally, Noel will be donating the last remaining pairs of limited edition signature trainers he designed in association with Adidas. Each pair will be signed personally by Noel. Only 200 pairs of these shoes were ever produced and they sold out instantly when first released. The Teenage Cancer Trust will be selling the trainers along with other memoraibilia connected with the 2013 performances via an online auction shortly after the Royal Albert Hall shows are completed.

Noel Gallagher, David Beckham And More Pay Tribute To Stone Roses Ahead Of Heaton Park Gigs

Noel Gallagher, David Beckham,and Damien Hirst are just some of the stars who have paid their own tributes to The Stone Roses as the reunited band prepare for the first of their massive homecoming Heaton Park concerts which will take place tomorrow (June 29th).

The Sun newspaper has apparently obtained a copy of the official programme which will be on sale to the thousands of fans preparing to descend on the Manchester venue during the weekend, and quotes David Beckham as writing: “The Stone Roses was part of my upbringing in Manchester. And being an East End boy, that’s saying something.”

“Their music has inspired so many people but for me it brings back memories of the most happiest time in my football career, when I started my career at Manchester United. The fact that they are back is incredible to see.”

Noel Gallagher, who has constantly cited the Roses as one of this chief inspirations, and Beckham’s former Manchester United team-mate Ryan Giggs are also said to have left their own tributes, while the artist Damien Hirst has allegedly described them as ‘more important than Picasso’.
