During the live auction, an artwork specifically created for the Elton John AIDS Foundation by Nathaniel Mary Quinn – one of the world’s most sought-after artists entitled “She Would Have Loved The Galas” – was bought by Sir Elton John himself, who made it back to the party quickly after his award. In a surprise addition to the auction, Elton John played a white Yamaha Grand Piano that was featured in the film “Rocketman” and was then auctioned off. Sharon Stone took the stage to auction off two VIP tickets to the Versace Cruise Collection fashion show taking place in a secret location. She was so compelling she sold the auction lot twice.
