(Gibson) Roger Daltrey, Paul Weller and Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones have been added to the lineup for this year's Concert for Teenage Cancer Trust shows, set to take place from March 28 through April 3 at London's Royal Albert Hall. The three singers will join other confirmed acts that include Paul McCartney, Pulp and Jessie J, among others.Daltrey, Weller and Jones will kick off the charity event on March 28, with McCartney appearing the following night. Proceeds from the concerts, which are now in their 12th year, go toward improving the lives of teenagers and young adults with cancer.
In a prepared statement, Royal Albert Hall Chief Executive Chris Cotton said: "We are honored to have supported Teenage Cancer Trust's concerts since they started here 12 years ago and the electric atmosphere they bring to the Hall. Teenage Cancer Trust consistently bring a world class line up of talent to help raise funds in support of young people who are affected by cancer and this year, to my mind, is their strongest yet. During the week, we run music education and art workshops in collaboration with the charity to offer teenagers, who might not otherwise have the opportunity, to work with some of their favorite artists." more on this story
