Rocker Iggy Pop has designed a guitar for an auction next month to raise money to help children and young people in areas of armed conflict.
The Lust for Life hitmaker has named his guitar 'Soulman'. Besides him, Michael Stipe and Matt Bellamy have also designed guitars for charity, reported Contactmusic. He said:
"Soulman goin' 110
coloured dots signify the end
Soulman sings a soulful song
clear and simple, deep and long".
Eurythmics star Dave Stewart, former Cure guitarist Pearl Thompson, film directors Gus Van Sant and Sam Taylor-Johnson and comic book artist Steve McNiven have also crafted custom Carparelli instruments for the auction.
Former REM frontman Michael Stipe's six-stringed instrument has been named 'Radiant Guitar' and the Nightswimming singer said he was honoured to be asked to submit a design. The auction will take place at Bonhams New York on November 9.
