Instruments used by Linkin Park are up for sale and the profits from it will go to the band’s charity EIF under Music for Relief program.
International rock band Linkin Park has founded a charitable institution called Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) and part of it is a program named Music for Relief.
The band’s instruments are up for sale and the profit will go directly to the said charity that extends help to the people and communities affected by natural disasters.
Fans of the group can be part of this historic endeavor in the world of music as more than 200 instruments that had been part of Linkin Park’s career life are being sold, based on the article published in CNN.
The site hosting the sale, Reverb, stated that the instruments “have been retired from regular use in the studio and on the road by Linkin Park over their more than 15-year career.”
Whitney Showler, vice-president of operations and programs at EIF said in a statement that throughout the last 13 years, the fans of the famous rock band have been supporting the Music for Relief all the way.
That support enabled the mission of the charity to help survivors and communities during various natural calamities.
The supposed tour of the rock band back on July 2017 was cancelled after its lead singer Chester Bennington died. It was said in reports that his death was caused by an apparent suicide.
His fellow band members paid tribute to him saying “Our hearts are broken.”
