TORONTO - What would you pay to have dinner with Canadian musician Lukas Rossi?

The singer-songwriter is playing shows in Toronto and Sudbury, Ont., next month and is offering fans the chance to go out on a dinner date before the concert.

For $500, a fan gets dinner at a local restaurant, a ticket to the show, access to a meet-and-greet and a CD.

Rossi makes the offer on his website, adding that "a portion" of the money will go to charity.

Rossi is best known for competing on the "Rock Star Supernova" TV talent show and winning a spot in a band with drummer Tommy Lee.

That band fizzled out fairly quickly and Rossi went solo. This summer he released "Hollywood" and was also seen on the show "Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew" with his wife Kendra Jade Rossi, a former adult film star.
