Daltrey honoured for teenage cancer work
Roger Daltrey, frontman of The Who, has won a major music industry prize for his work with the Teenage Cancer Trust. The singer has organised the charity's annual concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, booking artists like Arctic Monkeys, Tinie Tempah and Paul Weller.
Presenting the outstanding contribution prize at the Music Week awards, Weller praised Daltrey's “tireless, fantastic work” for a “very worthwhile charity.”
Ed Sheeran, Robert Plant and Sir Paul McCartney also paid tribute.
Daltrey, who is a patron of the trust, used his speech to thank the musicians and comedians who had taken part in his fundraising shows.
The Music Week awards are organised by the industry's trade magazine, mainly rewarding those who help discover, promote and support artists.
