Elton Blings Out iPod for AIDS

Star sells limited-edition Nanos to raise money

Share

(Newser) – For a mere $568, you can own Elton John’s blinged-out iPod Nano—and even better, your money will be donated to a good cause, the Sun reports. Sir Elton has designed an iPod bejeweled with more than 250 Swarovski crystals and loaded with the star’s greatest hits. A share of the profits from the limited-edition Nano will go to his AIDS foundation.

Elton does not usually put his name to a product but this is exactly he kind of thing he loves. It's extravagant and glamorous just like him.
