Damien Hirst designs Squeeze instruments
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 8 March 2011
The reformed Squeeze will perform at a show for the Teenage Cancer Trust later this month playing instruments designed by Damien Hirst. The Fender Stratocaster and Yamaha drum kit will then be auctioned off at Christie’s to raise money for the charity in April.
Teenage Cancer Trust chief exec Simon Davies said of the collaboration: “We’ve been staging our concerts at the Royal Albert Hall for over ten years and had some huge stars perform for us, but we’ve never combined such exceptional art and music in such a creative way before”.
The show will take place at the Royal Albert Hall on 22 Mar.
