Slipknot & Slayer Donate To Mitch Lucker Auction
In memory of the late Suicide Silence vocalist
Slipknot and Slayer are amongst the acts who have donated items to an auction raising money for the Mitch Lucker Memorial Fund.
The charity fundraiser in memory of the Suicide Silence singer who tragically died in a motorcycle accident earlier this month starts tomorrow (23rd November) and continues until Monday 3rd December.
Items that are being auctioned include an ESP LTD JH 600 Guitar signed by Slipknot, an ESP LTD TA Tom Araya Bass Guitar autographed by Slayer and a trip for two to London for the 2013 UK Vans Warped Tour.
You can also bid for a three-day AAA ride on Kevin Lyman’s tour bus for the 2013 North American Warped Tour and a unique drumhead hand painted by Suicide Silence drummer Alex Lopez and signed by the band.
There are also signed items from Motley Crüe, Godsmack, Megadeth, Motorhead, Unearth, Machine Head, Trivium, As I Lay Dying, The Devil Wears Prada, Bring Me The Horizon, Vampires Everywhere and more.
All proceeds from the sale go directly to the Mitch Lucker Memorial Fun, which has been set up to benefit Mitch’s young daughter Kenadee.
Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman and rock industry legend John Reese commented: “We are all in shock about the sudden and tragic death of Mitch Lucker of Suicide Silence.
“Although the world and our lives will move on, he leaves behind a beautiful daughter, Kenadee, who will need the support that he promised her, and sadly will not be able to fulfill.
“With that said, we feel his music family from the Vans Warped Tour and Rockstar Mayhem Festival can step up to help in the best way we can and that is to dedicate our winter charity auction proceeds to a trust fund for her future education and care.
“Please show your support by checking our auction frequently for new items and bidding generously.”
