Sia, the longtime songwriter who just had her solo breakthrough this year with “Chandeliers,” is known for retreating from the spotlight, recently performing concerts with her back to the crowd and rarely appearing in her own visuals.
So if your curiosity about the Australian artist has been building, you might be able to soon quench it with an upcoming auction for charity.

Strangely, this isn’t too out of the ordinary as far as artist artifacts go. Usually canonical artists and pop culture figures drive the market for this level of fanaticism. Back in 2010, Brad Pitt’s breath hit eBay for £340 and, in 2002, Elvis Presley’s breath was sold by his barber for £74,000.
