David Gilmour and New Order to perform in charity concert series

Pink Floyd rocker David Gilmour and British band New Order have signed up to perform at Roger Daltrey’s annual charity concert series.
The Who frontman, patron of the Teenage Cancer Trust, has recruited the bands for a week of fundraising gigs at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
Other performers include Simply Red, The Vaccines, Bring Me The Horizon, comedian John Bishop, and currently unannounced “very special guests”.
Daltrey has curated the concert series for 16 years, and the shows have raised more than $29 million (£20 million) to help young people cope with cancer.
He says, “We’ve had so many incredible musical moments at these shows over the years but these moments are made even more special by the wonderful young people I have met.
“They shouldn’t have to stop being teenagers just because they have cancer… They are young people first – cancer patients second… With their incredible vigour and positivity as inspiration, we aim to keep Teenage Cancer Trust leading the world in cancer care for this age group.”
The shows run from 19 to 24 April (16).
