Chubby auctions grafittied piano

A baby grand piano Roy Chubby Brown has used in Blackpool for the past eight years has been put up for auction on ebay.

The instrument has been grafittied with the likes of ‘fat bastard’ and ‘who the f*@k’s Alice’ to fit in with his coarse stage show.

It has been put up for sale by Roy’s sound engineer Scott Owen, who said: ‘All money raised will be going to a cancer charity which is very close to Roy’s heart.’

Brown contracted throat cancer in 2002, which forced him off the road for seven months following treatment to cure it.

Bidding for the piano, which comes from Blackpool's North Pier, has started at £100, click here to view the auction.
