On Tuesday 1st November, Take That, Ellie Goulding, Olly Murs, Gregory Porter, Michael Ball, Alfie Boe, Rick Astley, The Vamps, and Ward Thomas will be performing at a special concert hosted by Fearne Cotton and Greg James celebrating the life of legendary broadcaster Sir Terry Wogan.
The show will be called ‘BBC Children in Need Rocks for Terry’, a charity event which will raise money for BBC Children in Need, which Sir Terry presented from the outset in 1980 until 2014. He didn’t present the show in 2015 as he was unwell.
The show will take place at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Speaking to NME, Fearne Cotton, presenter and friend of Terry Wogan said: “It has been an honour working with Sir Terry across the years on Children in Need and it’s a privilege to be hosting Rocks in celebration of his life. It’s going to be a very special evening with some great artists performing some of his favourite tracks.”
Fellow host of the show Greg James added: “It’s a privilege to host Rocks alongside Fearne. Sir Terry was, in my eyes, the ultimate broadcaster. A friend to millions on his radio show and a hero to millions more through his work with Children in Need. It’s an absolute honour to be asked to be part of the concert. It’s going to be a brilliant night.”
Earlier this year, it was rumoured that Robbie Williams would be rejoining Take That but earlier this week in light of the Apple Music Festival, he released more solo material.
Tickets for the concert can be found on the BBC’s Children in Need website and it will be broadcast on BBC Radio 2 and BBC One.
