It was announced today that David Gilmour will be one of the guest artists appearing as part of the week long series of Teenage Cancer Trust benefit shows in London. The shows, organised by the remaining members of The Who, will be held at the end of March/beginning of April, at the Royal Albert Hall, in Kensington.

The Who perform the legendary rock opera, 'Tommy' on March 29th; The Stereophonics perform on the 30th; a unique night of comedy is hosted by Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge on the 31st; David Gilmour, Sam Brown, Solomon Burke, Marc Almond, Mica Paris and Ruby Turner will join Jools Holland on April 1st; and Tom Jones will have knickers thrown at him on April 2nd.

This will be the fourth year that the Royal Albert Hall has played host to Teenage Cancer Trust concerts. The annual event was the brainchild of Roger Daltrey, who is a patron of the Trust and has been involved with the charity for a decade. To date, these concerts have raised £2 million for the charity. Tickets go on sale tomorrow through the normal outlets (the venue itself and online ticket sellers), when ticket prices will be available.
