Singer Elton
John�s performance raised the highest amount of
money in a charity karaoke, amounting to 110,000
pounds. Many singers came together at Ronnie
Scott`s jazz club, to raise a total of 385,000
pounds for the Hoping Foundation, a charity that
supports Palestinian children.
The guests at the event included model turned
designer Kate Moss, comedy actor David Walliams
and model/actress Elle Macpherson. The guest bid
on their favourite singer to hear classics of
their choice and the winning bidders had a
chance to perform a duet with the singer or have
a song dedicated to himself or herself.
Elton John sang Elvis Presley�s hit �Are You
Lonesome Tonight?� for birthday girl Liz Hurley.
The Second highest bid of 70,000 pounds was for
Australian musician Nick Cave`s version of
Destiny`s Child`s �Bootylicious�. Singer Bryan
Adams raised 30,000 pounds for �Rocking All Over
The World� while Mick Jones raised 20,000 pounds
for �Should I Stay Or Should I Go�.
