Yes, this piece of memorabilia may have been torn from a man's chest, but, hey, it's for charity!
Mogwai frontman Stuart Braithwaite left quite the intriguing message on MySpace today:
Buy Martins old pacemaker!!
In the last few hours Martin got out of theatre after getting a new heart pacemaker fitted. As we did before we will be organizing an e-bay auction to sell his old pacemaker with the proceeds going to the British Heart Foundation. Details will follow shortly. Get well soon Martin!
To clarify: Mogwai drummer Martin Bulloch had an old pacemaker removed today and a new one put in. Instead of pitching the old one into the Biohazard bin, the Scottish rockers are auctioning it off for charity.
Well, at least I know what I'm asking for for Christmas now.
