Singer Matt Helders has revealed he has joined personal greetings site Cameo.
The Arctic Monkeys star took to Instagram to reveal the news, admitting he has done so for a very special cause. The English singer-songwriter, 38, rose to fame with the rock band alongside bandmates Alex Turner, Jamie Cook and Nick O’Malley. He moved to Los Angeles as the band’s success continued, and now he is hoping to help those affected by the devastating California wildfires.
Writing on social media, Matt said: “LA is a place I’ve called home for the past 13 years. It’s where my daughter was born and is raised, it’s where she goes to school, and where we are grateful to be. Amanda and I are doing everything we can personally and privately to help, but in order to do more and shed some light on the organisations doing so much to help, I’m gonna do a limited run on @cameo and donate all proceeds to @daylaborernetwork a community that inspires me and I admire very much.”
He shared a link to his Cameo page underneath. He revealed he had been inundated with requests and Matt’s efforts were quickly praised by fans online. One Twitter/X user said: “i’m seriously this close to buying a cameo from matt helders.” Another added: “The question of whether to buy this week’s groceries or order a matt helders cameo for charity and the plot.”
Wildfires have torn through multiple parts of LA and continue cause havoc across California since last Tuesday. They continue to threaten areas including Calabasas, Hidden Hills and Montecito, with more than 10,000 homes having been destroyed to date. It’s led to more than 150,000 being forced to evacuate, while devastatingly 26 people have died so far.
Among those to have lost their homes include Spencer Pratt and his wife Heidi Montag, as well as Paris Hilton. The socialite revealed last week she could only watch on live television as her property burned to the ground.
She said at the time: “Heartbroken beyond words. Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience. This home was where we built so many precious memories. It’s where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London.”
Paris, along with a number of other high-profile stars have donated sums to the cause as they try to help their community recover from the disaster. Kim Kardashian, meanwhile, has urged followers not to fall for scams after discovering one using her name to try to steal people’s money.
The reality TV star took to Instagram to make her followers away of the fake emails in which scammers were pretending to be her in exchange for donations.
