Roger Daltrey Pulls Out Of Charity Concert Due To Illness

The Who frontman was set to perform with his bandmate Pete Townshend and Pearl Jam star Eddie Vedder for 500 fans at a private residence in Los Angeles on Saturday (12Sep15).

They created a fundraising campaign for the gig, encouraging devotees to make a donation to be in with a chance of winning tickets, and they raised more than $95,000 (£59,000) for Teen Cancer America and The Foundation To Be Named Later, an education charity.

However, Daltrey will no longer perform at the show as he has come down with a virus and doctors have advised him to not play, a spokesman confirmed to Britain's The Sun newspaper.
