The Who frontman Roger Daltrey remembered the band's late bassist John Entwistle in an emotional tribute during his performance of Tommy for the Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall.
This is the 11th consecutive year that Daltrey has organised the gigs at the South Kensington venue and he took to the stage last night to perform The Who's 'Tommy', as he feels it will be one of the last times that he'd be able to sing it well.
Daltrey also used the opportunity to honour his late The Who bandmate, who died of a heart attack in Las Vegas in 2002.
As he thrilled the crowd by playing songs from the band's 1969 album, Daltrey told them, "Back in the '70s we used to love doing harmonies. The Beach Boys, we s**t on them. John always had the loudest voice, he had the voice of an angel. So this is for him and all those guys out there who are sent to terrible places like Afghanistan."
