Linkin Park have announced that they are holding an eBay auction to aid the survivors of the recent cyclone in Bangladesh.
The band's charity, Music For Relief, is gathering items from several artists including The Smashing Pumpkins, Avril Lavigne and Deftones to auction off.
One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to humanitarian organisation CARE for Cyclone Sidr disaster relief efforts.
Cyclone Sidr struck Bangladesh on November 15, killing approximately 3,500 people and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless.
To participate in the auction or to make a donation to aid the survivors, visit Musicforrelief.org. The auction closes on Friday (December 14).
