Other acts confirmed for the Killing Cancer event on 13 January include The Verve’s Richard Ashcroft and guitar maestro Jeff Beck.

Killing Cancer is a cancer charity with a difference in that it raises cash to fund research into a specific line of treatment, Photodynamic Therapy or PDT. The non-invasive PDT uses light plus drugs to turn off the oxygen heading for cancerous cells.

“Any new breakthrough in cancer treatment should be taken very seriously and we want as many people to know about that as possible,” said Beck.

“The concert is not just going to raise funds to pay for new PDT trials, but will also help raise public awareness.”

Tickets for the concert go on sale next Friday, 19 November.
