Unseen photos taken by Noel Gallagher, Nick Cave and Rod Stewart go under the hammer.
Grab a piece of music history as stars including Noel Gallagher, Rod Stewart, and Nick Cave, donate their own pictures for Mental Aid charity auction.
Fancy getting your hands on unseen images of some of the world’s biggest musicians?
Work by Noel Gallagher, Nick Cave, George Michael, Mick Fleetwood, Joan Armatrading, Suggs, Bill Wyman and Neil Tennant have gone up for auction as part of a one-off exhibition. All proceeds will go to Mental Aid – a charity which offers support to people with complex mental health challenges.
Father and son founders Tony and Max McGee talked us through their favourite pieces. “Noel sent us two – one of a woman on the bus in Mumbai, which is very beautiful,” said filmmaker and actor Max. “The other one is of his son in the desert in Nevada.
“Rod Stewart’s picture was of his four of his children very candidly taken at home. His quote was ‘I dunno where they get their good looks from’. Chris Stein from Blondie took an amazing shot of Debbie Harry on a T-Bird outside CBGB in New York. Bill Wyman sent in a great shot of Mick Jagger.”
Legendary photographer Tony added: “I actually love the humour that Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys’ has. He photographed his puppy dog through the window of his car. It’s a very simple little snapshot but it’s great.”
Max continued: “What was really interesting was how these artists, who have performed in front of millions, were still hesitant about how their photograph would be perceived when they submitted it.”
