Iron Maiden are reportedly selling off limited-edition t-shirts to raise funds for the relief effort in quake and tsunami-hit Japan.

The band was travelling to Tokyo for two shows when the magnitude 9 tremor struck and were forced to divert their jet to Nagoya, reports Contactmusic.com.

The garment features their mascot, Eddie, with the band's logo across the front, while the back displays the text Japan 2011. The Final Frontier.

The rockers aren't the only stars selling merchandise to boost the relief fund - Linkin Park star Mike Shinoda has designed a special t-shirt, while Lady Gaga has already raised $2,50,000 from sales of a special bracelet.
