Fans of James Blunt will no doubt be delighted to hear that he is to auction meetings with himself to raise money for charity.
The singer is currently taking his Back to Bedlam material on tour in North America and has announced that fans able to cough up the cash can meet him after the shows.
Each show will offer a meet and greet session with all proceeds going towards medical humanitarian organisation Doctors Without Borders/Medicins Sans Frontieres.
His decision to help the charity follows his own personal experience with their work while serving in the British Army in Kosovo.
Blunt's tour will kick off in Montreal on October 1st.
Since bursting onto the British music scene with the long-running number one hit You're Beautiful, Blunt has continued to make headlines for his activities both on and off the airwaves.
After his relationship with heiress Camilla Boler ended, Blunt has been linked with It-girl Tara Palmer-Tomkinson and Paris Hilton has gushed that she loves the singer and thinks he's "pretty hot".
But the lucky, or not-so-lucky depending on when you stand, girl who currently has her claws on the squeaky-voiced crooner is model Petra Nemcova.
If his female fans react to Blunt the way his girlfriends have, then it looks like he'll have no problems generating a frenzy over the meet and greet sessions.
