Phil Collins, the first ambassador of The King's Trust, is spearheading a benefit auction to commemorate the charity's 50th anniversary. The auction, organized by Julien's Auctions, features a collection of personal items from Collins's career, including his stage-worn outfit from the 1985 Live Aid concert and handwritten lyrics for Genesis's "That's All."
Other notable contributors include Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John, and Sir Mick Jagger, who have donated personal memorabilia to support the charity's mission. The auction aims to raise funds to help young people facing adversity gain access to work, education, and training.
The live auction is scheduled for November 19, 2026, in Los Angeles, with online bidding currently open. Proceeds will directly support The King's Trust in its mission to help young people facing adversity gain access to work, education, and training.
