A fan made a bid of 27,000 pounds to meet the singing. Self employed chauffeur, Kevin Fitzpatrick decided to spend his entire life savings on joining the music maestro at a party in California.

The 60 year old from Lancashire had not even informed his wife before he made the bid on BBC Radio 2 for Children In Need.

"I don't know what I was thinking, to be honest. I didn't think it was going to get as high as it did," said Fitzpatrick.

When he phoned his wife and told her, she ended up in tears. Kevin Fitzpatrick had almost spend his entire savings on the deal.

"I asked him to retract the bid. But when I realised this was a once in a lifetime trip to have dinner with , at his home and that our savings were going to a good cause, I thought we should just go with the flow," said Julie, Kevin's wife.

The couple will reach Malibu on December 17 and attend an afternoon and evening party with the singer.
