Crisis are auctioning off a pair of signed Pink Floyd giant eyeballs, one of only 10 specially commissioned pairs, used on the cover of their recent DVD Pulse, in order to help raise much-needed funds for the homeless this Christmas.

The eyeballs will be auctioned off on eBay from December 14-20 with all proceeds going to the national homelessness charity Crisis.

David Gilmour, of Pink Floyd, who is a well known supporter of the work of Crisis, commented that: “The eBay auction will not only raise much needed funds for the charity but will also raise awareness of the plight of the homeless at a time of year when they are most vulnerable.”

The eyeballs, approx six feet high, have been signed by all members of the band and are famous for featuring on the front cover of the band’s latest DVD, Pulse, and were used as stage props on the recent press screening for the DVD. The Pulse DVD features the one and only filmed appearance of their legendary album The Dark Side of the Moon.

Crisis and Pink Floyd hope that the auction might generate a significant level of interest in these sought after items of rock memorabilia, especially around the Christmas period when Pink Floyd fans might be looking for that perfect present!

The eBay auction will coincide with the TV transmission of Pink Floyd’s A Performance of The Dark SideOf The Moon filmed at Earls Court in 1994 and which forms part of the Pulse DVD. This broadcast is scheduled for the December 15 on BBC1, after the Jonathan Ross show.
