The Who's Roger Daltry - saving lives through music
All this week some of the biggest stars in music are taking over the Royal Albert Hall in honour of the Teenage Cancer Trust. The annual event was conceived and curated by honorary patron Roger Daltrey - legendary frontman of The Who - who joins us to tell us how the gigs are putting a spotlight on what more needs to be done.
He’s here today alongside 21-year-old Phoebe Moore, who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer as a teenager. Remarkably, in a one-in-a-million chance, Phoebe’s brother had been diagnosed with the same cancer years earlier - but thanks to the Trust, Phoebe had a very different experience.

Around six young people aged between 13 and 24 are diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK. They need expert treatment and support from the moment they hear the word ‘cancer.’ We’re the only charity dedicated to making this happen. We bring young people together so they can be treated together, by teenage cancer experts, in the best place for them.
