Guitar signed by Idris Elba and Paul McCartney is being auctioned off for charity
A guitar signed by Idris Elba and Paul McCartney during their recent BBC interview is being auctioned off for charity.
Last weekend BBC One showed Idris Elba Meets Paul McCartney, which saw Elba speak to The Beatles legend about his career following the release of his latest album McCartney III.
While filming, both Elba and McCartney signed a Cort acoustic guitar that McCartney played with on the show, and now the guitar is being auctioned off for charity.
100% of the money raised from the guitar will benefit domestic violence charity S.T.O.R.M.
Elba shared a video of him explaining the guitar auction via Twitter last weekend.
