One of the most popular musicians today, Ed Sheeran, donated 445 of his own clothes, including underwear, to charity.

The items were handed over to a charity EVERY (EACH -East Anglia's Children's Hospices) in Framlingham, Suffolk, where the singer-songwriter grew up, to raise money for vulnerable children.

The sale of most items will be advertised on eBay (eBay), and the bidding will be opened later this week.

Kevin Clements, director of the organization, said Ed Sheeran's gesture was extraordinary.

In addition to socks and boxers, various other items of clothing, belts, bags and hats were also donated.

"Clothes will not be washed or ironed - they will be sold as delivered," the charity said in a statement.

They add that Shiran was wearing half of the donated underwear.

Each sold item will be accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity.

"He has fans all over the world and the sale of these items will undoubtedly cause a stir," Clements said.

"It will be exciting and fascinating to see how the bidding goes."

The SVAKO organization will put 186 items up for sale at three auctions by the end of the year.

A further 239 will be listed in a second sale early next year.

The initial retail price of each item is £9,99 (about €11,5).

"Thanks to Ed Sheeran's generosity, we expect to raise thousands of pounds in our campaign," added Clements.

The charity cares for children living in difficult circumstances and supports their families across Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex.

Širan previously donated his own clothes to charity in 2014, the same year he became the ambassador of this charity.

Then 7.500 pounds (about 8.600 euros) were collected.
