The collection includes Dee Snider of Twisted Sister, Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue, Bret Michaels of Poison, Debbie Harry of Blondie, David Coverdale of Whitesnake, Steven Van Zandt of Little Steven & The Disciples Of Soul, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne and Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, Axl Rose and Slash of Guns N’ Roses, Brian Setzer of Stray Cats, John Mellencamp and Carmine Appice.

The Rockit Live Foundation will be the third local organization benefitting from Mark’s generous donation of iconic photographs from his collection.
