Performance Notes | The Who return to Teenage Cancer Trust, playing a very special acoustic show.
One of the greatest live bands of all time, The Who kick-started these concerts back in 2000 and as a patron of Teenage Cancer Trust, frontman Roger Daltrey has driven the Royal Albert Hall shows every year.
The band have not performed for Teenage Cancer Trust at The Royal Albert Hall since 2017, but have played some of their most legendary performances at the venue, producing historic nights. That first show in 2000 assembled Paul Weller, Kelly Jones and Noel Gallagher to join them and they have powered out hits and albums ever since in aid of the charity.
I am so grateful for the loyalty and continued support given to us by the music and comedy industries. The Who will be back on stage this year at the Hall alongside some wonderful talent. After the last two unbelievably difficult years, young people with cancer deserve everything we can do for them. Roger Daltrey CBE, Teenage Cancer Trust Honorary Patron, and mastermind behind the gigs This show is supporting Teenage Cancer Trust. Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words you have cancer. Cancer can throw young peoples lives into chaos, leaving them feeling isolated, scared and out of control.
Teenage Cancer Trust puts young people in the best possible place, physically, mentally and emotionally, for their cancer treatment and beyond. They do it through their expert nurses, support teams, and hospital units. And they are the only UK charity dedicated to providing this specialised nursing care and support.
Young people with cancer have never needed that support more, which is why getting back on stage at the Royal Albert Hall plays such a vital part in making sure no young person faces cancer alone.
Guests in the audience included actress Vicky McClure. |
