DALTREY + DOHERTY JOIN FORCES FOR CHARITY

BABYSHAMBLES frontman PETE DOHERTY and THE WHO legend ROGER DALTREY thrilled rock fans after joining forces at a one-off charity gig on Monday night (12Jan09).
The unlikely collaborators took to the stage at the O2 Academy in Bristol, England as part of a tribute to teenage cancer sufferer Daniel Squires - who died from the illness last year (08) after befriending the stars.
Doherty stepped into the shoes of Daltrey's bandmate Pete Townshend, playing guitar while the singer performed a selection of classic The Who songs.
The gig is to raise awareness for Daltrey's Teenage Cancer Trust foundation.
Daltrey reportedly approached the troubled musician after he was impressed by Doherty's decision to sing at Squires' funeral in July (08).
