Daltrey seeks charity gig successor

Roger Daltrey is reportedly hoping to recruit younger musicians to organise his Teenage Cancer Trust charity gigs.

The Who frontman established the annual concerts in 2000 and has already approached Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher and Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones to take on the job.

The BBC reports that Daltrey, 65, also wants the next generation of organisers to expand the event to an international level.

Jones said: "He's asked me and Noel a couple of times to our faces. If you're in a band and you can help people who are worse off, it's not really much to ask for.

"I've never really given it as much thought as answering it with a serious tone. We'll see. You see what happens in life."

Daltrey previously described the process of "pestering" bands to take part in the event as his "yearly breakdown". "It does take an awful lot of energy," he said.
