Kerrang! photographer Paul Harries is auctioning a signed print of Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor on eBay to help raise money and awareness for The Teenage Cancer Trust.
The shot, which was taken shortly before the band's Psychosocial video shoot in their home state of Iowa in June 2008, will be part of The Six Shooters exhibition which is set to kick off in London later this month.
"This is my favourite photo in the exhibition and it so nearly didn't happen," explains Paul. "This was my location for a band shot, DJ Sid Wilson was missing and it turned out that he was in A&E with a head wound. But we were told he is on his way. We waited and waited but no Sid and the sun was going down.
"It was thought best to grab a quick shot of Corey to get something in the bag and it turned out amazing the empty field really adding to the atmosphere," he adds. "Corey was kind enough to sign this print at Download last month so that I could donate it to the Teenage Cancer Trust."

About The Teenage Cancer Trust
Each day in the UK, six teenagers are diagnosed with cancer. Teenage Cancer Trust is devoted to improving the lives of young people with cancer. We believe that teenagers shouldnt stop being teenagers because they have cancer, and build specialist units in NHS hospitals where teenagers with cancer are treated together, in an environment suited to their needs. Our units are designed to be as close as possible to a normal life, helping young people to cope with long, gruelling stays in hospital.
