Outstanding Contribution
Sponsored By:
The award was being presented to Roger Daltrey CBE in recognition of not only his enduring global success as frontman of The Who, but for being a driving force in the Teenage Cancer Trust and co-organiser of the charity’s concert series. Held at the Royal Albert Hall in March, the concerts have raised more than £17 million for Teenage Cancer Trust, since The Who & friends played a benefit concert for the Trust at the venue in 2000.
The success of The Who worldwide coupled with his work for teenage cancer patients makes Roger Daltrey a most worthy recipient of this award.
