Van Morrison records concert for Fawcett

Van Morrison recorded his recent shows at LA's Orpheum Theater so that he could give copies of the performances to Farrah Fawcett to watch from home.

According to E!, Fawcett has been a fan of Morrison since the 1970s, while long-term partner Ryan O'Neal and his grandchildren reportedly visited the musician backstage after his show on May 9.

"Van is also a huge fan of Ryan and Farrah's work," a representative for Morrison said, revealing that his favourite movies featuring the stars include Fawcett's The Apostle and O'Neal's Barry Lyndon.

The artist's 1987 song 'Queen Of The Slipstream' also appears in Fawcett's NBC documentary about her battle with cancer.

The singer will release a new live DVD, Astral Weeks Live At The Hollywood Bowl, on May 19.
