Axe Wins Dimebag Auction |
Contact Music reports: Pop star KELLY CLARKSON's
artistic skills paid off at an auction in Hollywood on Thursday night (17May07)
when a guitar she painted to raise cash for a children's charity raised
$3,000 (GBP1,500). The Breakaway singer decorated an axe and turned the
instrument into the auction's highlight - beating out bids for guitars
designed by rockers Dave Navarro and Rob Zombie. But there was a very special
reason behind Clarkson's offer to help raise cash for the Little Kids Rock
charity - the auction was held as part of a House of Blues tribute to late
rocker `Dimebag' Darrell Abbott. The pop star is a longtime fan of Abbott's
bands Pantera and Damageplan, and once waited on the tragic guitarist when
she worked in a restaurant he frequented.[see full story for more]-
