The Beatles covers band led by Muse’s Matt Bellamy and also featuring Graham Coxon have been announced as the main support for Roger Daltrey‘s gig at the Royal Albert Hall for Teenage Cancer Trust on March 22nd.
Dubbed Dr Pepper’s Jaded Hearts Club Band, they add to a bill which also includes The Courteeners (playing their St. Jude debut album in full) and Kasabian. “I’m very happy to welcome Muse’s Matt Bellamy who will be joining me on my night for Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall Thurs 22 March,” Daltrey says.
“Matt will be bringing his Dr. Pepper’s Jaded Hearts Club Band including Blur’s Graham Coxon to belt out a set of Beatles classics. It’s their first UK show and will be great fun.”
Roger Daltrey has been organising the TCT concert series for nearly two decades, and told NME last year that he hoped to continue for another 20 before handing the reigns over to someone else, ‘probably Noel Gallagher’.
