A rare, signed artwork of Oasis’ 1997 album “Be Here Now” has been put up for auction by charity War Child, aiming to raise funds for children affected by conflict.

Charity organization War Child is auctioning a signed print of Oasis’ 1997 album “Be Here Now” to raise urgent funds for children affected by war.
A Powerful Collaboration Between Music and Charity
The signed print includes the autographs of both Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher, making it a rare collectible for fans. Rather than being just a nostalgic item, this piece contributes to a greater purpose.
The auction is part of War Child’s Emergency Coronavirus Crowdfunder, which provides essential aid to children impacted by war and the global pandemic. According to War Child:
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own music history while helping vulnerable children worldwide.”
Be Here Now: A Symbol of Britpop’s Peak
When “Be Here Now” dropped in August 1997, it exploded onto the charts, debuting at number one in the UK. At the time, it became the fastest-selling British album ever. While critics offered mixed reviews, fans embraced its grandeur, and it remains a fan favorite.
The cover art — a surreal image of a Rolls Royce submerged in a swimming pool — captured the over-the-top confidence of the Britpop era. Now, that iconic image is at the center of a campaign to help those most in need.
Why This Auction Matters
Instead of letting the artwork sit in a collector’s archive, War Child is giving it a chance to make an impact. Every bid goes directly to supporting education, protection, and aid for children living in war zones.
By participating, fans don’t just celebrate their love for Oasis. They actively support a cause that saves lives.
