Spending over $5 million on used guitars is something that’s reserved for the well-off, but it was for a good cause. Gilmour auctioned off over 120 of his guitars and amps to benefit ClientEarth, an environmental law organization that fights climate change. In a video posted on ClientEarth’s website, Gilmour explains why he wanted to donate the proceeds of this auction to their organization.
“The global climate crisis is the greatest challenge that humanity will ever face, and we are within a few years of the effects of global warming being irreversible. I hope that the sale of these guitars will help ClientEarth in their cause to use the law to bring about real change. We need a civilized world that goes on for all our grandchildren and beyond in which these guitars can be played and songs can be sung.”
