This past Sunday January 24, Radiohead had a small show for Haiti at the Henry Fonda Theatre in Hollywood. The tickets were auctioned... min start bid was $100....auction ended Saturday......tickets went up to $475 each. I find it amazing that people paid that amount to see Radiohead and help those in need in Haiti.
"This is how much money we made,” singer-guitarist Thom Yorke announced late in the two-hour concert, as he was handed a card with a final tally. “Gross: Fuck me! $572,774!”
Radiohead raised: $572,774!!!!!!! The highest bid for a pair of tickets was $4,000.
Great job guys !!!!!!!! Celebs that attended: Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, Flea, Drew Barrymore, Paul Thomas Anderson and Anna Paquin.
Hope this idea inspires other musicians to do the same. Radiohead has been ahead of the game so far.
