An auction of exclusive personal items and memorabilia donated by EMI's family of artists and songwriters ??? including Iron Maiden, Megadeth and Alice In Chains ??? has raised $940,000 in funds to help the Red Cross support people affected by last month's earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The charity auction, which launched on eBay's worldwide sites on April 5, attracted bids totaling $470,000 from music fans around the world. All the money from winning bidders will be doubled through a donation by EMI.
