Liam Gallagher donates a signed parka and trainers to NHS Fest raffle to help raise money for frontline staff… as the public can also enter to win a set visit to Peaky Blinders season six
Liam Gallagher has donated a signed parka from his Pretty Green collection in order to help raise funds for the NHS Fest raffle, which opened on Tuesday.
The former Oasis frontman, 47, was one of several musicians and artists to provide special goods and one-off experiences to help raise money for those working on the frontline of the coronavirus crisis.
As well as his famous parka, Liam offered a pair of signed LG Spezial trainers, a signed tamourine, and signed tickets to a future concert for the event.

The public can also enter to win signed fender stratocaster, a signed ward park 2019 print and a photo book celebrating 25 years of Snow Patrol.
But that’s not all, as groups like the Arctic Monkeys, The Chemical Brothers, and Royal Blood have also donated limited edition clothing and goods for the cause.
Rockers Don Broco, Bring Me The Horizon, Architects, While She Sleeps, and Twin Atlantic have also taken part in the raffle.
Interest in the raffle has increased dramatically since it opened on Tuesday, and the site has received an overwhelming number of visitors that the raffle is currently on hold until it can be updated.
In a statement, the event organisers said: ‘Sorry to say we’re going to have to pause the raffle for the moment – we did expect lots of interest, but it’s simply more than we could have anticipated!
‘There isn’t a quick fix, due to current working from home restrictions, so please standby for updates…’
