The Who added to Arsenal bill



THE WHO have confirmed that they will be part of the annual Legends And Youth Ball at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium.

Singer Roger Daltrey and guitarist Pete Townshend announced that they will play acoustic versions of their hits at the Premiership football club's annual charity ball in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust on May 21.

Daltrey said: "I have been fighting for this cause for many years and I'm thrilled that this partnership has made and will continue to make a huge difference to young people with cancer."

Daltrey, an Arsenal fan, wrote a specially commissioned song called 'Highbury Highs', which he played after the last match at the club's old stadium in 2006.

Tables for the charity event are priced at £10,000 for Diamond packages and £6,000 for Platinum packages.
