The Who and Richard Ashcroft For London Charity Gig

added 15 November 2010 at 17.05

It will be the first concert for 'Killing Cancer'...

The campaign aims to raise the awareness of a new non-invasive treatment called Photodynamic Therapy (PDT).

The fundraising event at the Hammersmith Apollo on January 13 will also feature Jeff Beck and Debbie Harry with other acts still to be announced.

Bill Curbishley, manager of The Who and Robert Plant, said it is an issue close to their hearts: "Robert and I had lived through the final months and days of close friends battling with cancer, but also fighting to overcome the effects of their treatments. Only later we discovered that PDT could perhaps have saved their lives – and certainly given them some dignity in their final weeks."
