Friday February 14, 10:01 am ET
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Musical and visual artists influenced by the work of bass player, John Entwistle are donating memorabilia to the American Heart Association's Heart-to-Heart Gala, scheduled for Saturday, May 17 at the Hyatt Regency, Irvine, 17900 Jamboree Road, Irvine, CA
92614.
All items will be available to Heart-to-Heart Gala patrons during a silent auction that precedes dinner and musical entertainment. Proceeds will be used to fund research and educational programs designed to reduce the toll of heart disease and stroke, our nation's No. 1 and No. 3 killers, respectively.
Entwistle's ex-wife Max Harlow, an artist in Southern California and her manager, Randi Holden of RTC Entertainment, Inc. are organizing donations as a tribute to her former husband. Artists who appeared in the live and film versions of Tommy are among those who have agreed to contribute an item to the auction. "It was the least I could do, I was honored that I was asked," says Billy Idol. Idol donated a signed display poster from his "Kiss the Skull" show at the Roxy last year.
"John would be proud to know that his friends and peers are pledging their help. I am overwhelmed by everyone's generosity, it's very touching," says Holden. "Max wanted to turn tragedy into triumph," explains Randi. "I wanted closure and this is my way of saying goodbye and at the same time bringing forth awareness," adds Max.
At the time of his death on June 28, 2002, Entwistle was taking medication for a heart condition. According to medical reports, he died of a heart attack brought on by drug use. In addition to raising awareness of the toll of heart disease and stroke, Entwistle's family and friends also wish to remind their fans of the dangers of drug use.
Musical and visual artists who have graciously donated items, to date, include: Patti Labelle, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, N'Sync, Counting Crows and No Doubt, Jim Altieri, Dave Gink and Delano Garcia.
A complete list of items and their donor, as of February 7, 2003, follows.
