Two pieces will be going up for sale, with each of them being created by Gallagher during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The art, which has been reimagined as two new print editions, came from a place of boredom during the first lockdowns, with Gallagher stating: “These pieces are actually photographed images of my sons’ two bedroom doors that I started to sticker bomb due to boredom during the first few weeks of the Covid-19 lockdown in March and April 2020.”

The Oasis songwriter is a long-term ambassador for the UK charity and has been apart of many fundraisers in the past for them, including performing a cover of The Smiths ‘There Is A Light That Never Goes Out’.

Both pieces of art will be exclusively sold on a new website created by fellow Teenage Cancer Trust ambassadors and artists, The Connor Brother. The two brothers created this new platform – called Sunday Is Boring – with the aim to “collaborate with artists and creatives who sit outside the conventional art world.”

Speaking about their partnership with the legendary Mancunian musician, the Connor Brother said: “We are delighted to be working with Noel again to raise much needed funds for Teenage Cancer Trust. As fathers and people whose lives have been directly affected by cancer, it is a cause that is very close to our hearts.”

The Head of Music and Entertainment at Teenage Cancer Trust, Jane Ashton, has stated her gratitude to both Noel Gallagher and The Connor Brother, saying: “We’re enormously grateful to our ambassadors Noel Gallagher and The Connor Brother for coming together on this special collaboration in support of Teenage Cancer Trust.

“This stunning limited-edition artwork not only raises vital funds but also shines a light on the needs of young people facing cancer.”

She continued: “Creative partnerships like this play a powerful role in helping us reach more young people with specialist care and support. We can’t thank Noel and The Connor Brothers enough for their generosity and commitment.”

The first variation of the artwork will go on sale for £100 each, limited to 300 unsigned prints. The second version will be limited to 100 prints and will come hand-signed by Noel; these will be prices at £750 each with all proceeds going directly to Teenage Cancer Trust.

Both versions are on sale from today (September 18) at 5pm. Visit here for more information.

The recording features Rose alongside Guns N’ Roses bandmates Slash and Duff McKagan, with guest contributions from Elton John and Starkey’s father, Ringo Starr. Despite the star power involved, the track has never been officially released.

According to Loudwire, the collaboration was first conceived in 2017 after Guns N’ Roses and The Who performed ‘Children of the Revolution’ live together at Rock in Rio. Following the performance, the musicians recorded a studio version for a planned charity album that was ultimately shelved.

Starkey – long-time drummer for The Who and son of Ringo Starr – has now made a public appeal for the recording to be made available. He believes that releasing the track could generate significant funds for Teenage Cancer Trust, the UK charity that provides specialist care and support to young people with cancer.

Taking to Instagram, Zac Starkey wrote: “Dear Axl Rose, please give me my master of this track back. Me and Sshh [Liguz, Starkey’s wife] spent three years making this Bolan tribute for teen cancer and without the master of the children of the revolution which my dad, sshh and I arranged to include a modulating section for Slash’s guitar, another for Duff’s bass solo and plenty of room for Elton before you asked Sshh if you could sing it”.

“It’s a drag that the record is on the shelf, as Christie’s [auction house] have advised it could generate $2M for teen cancer,” he concluded. “C’mon bro.”

Starkey shared details about the star-studded T-Rex cover last year, and leaked the song on social media earlier this year. “Ringo/Elton/Axl/Duff/Slash. C’mon amazing people — let’s get this record out and [help] these teenagers who, as musicians, we rely on so much,” he shared in April.

“If we wait much longer some of these brave young people may not have enough time to hear it,” he added. “This is the first half, then it gets wild!!! Everything generated by this record … goes to teenage cancer – if it gets released, which depends totally on the amazing participants giving us the green light.”

As for the entire charity album, Starkey hinted at other guest contributors, saying: “It’s a full album with more than one Beatle, a Smith a Pretender, an Ashcroft, an Iggy, and many more … Soon come”.

Teenage Cancer Trust has a long-standing link with The Who through Roger Daltrey, who serves as an honorary patron and was the driving force behind the charity’s annual concert series at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Starkey’s appeal follows in that tradition, urging Rose to help bring the unreleased recording to light for a cause that has raised millions over the past two decades.

In case you missed it, MXDWN’s recent coverage of Robert Smith taking over Daltrey’s position in curating the 2026 Teenage Cancer Trust shows can be read here.

The announcement marks the 65-year old frontman as the successor of series founder and The Who legend Roger Daltrey. Last year, Daltrey announced that he would be stepping down as curator of the Teenage Cancer Trust concert series after 24 years. However, he will continue to serve as the charity’s patron.

“It’s an absolute honour and a real thrill to be asked to curate the 2026 shows at the Royal Albert Hall,” said Robert Smith. “Teenage Cancer Trsust does incredible work, and I can promise it will be a truly memorable week!” Roger Daltrey also shared his excitement about Smith taking on the role: “Finding the right person to curate this incredible week of concerts hasn’t been easy, but I’m thrilled to announce that Robert Smith has agreed to take it on for 2026.” Daltrey went on to praise The Cure’s longstanding support for the charity, emphasising that Smith understands the vital work Teenage Cancer Trust does. He noted that the concert series has become a major highlight in the music calendar, featuring some of the world’s greatest artists. In his view, Smith – an iconic musician himself – is the perfect person to carry the tradition forward.  This year’s Teenage Cancer Trust shows will take place from March 24 – 30, featuring an impressive lineup of musical and comedic talent. Confirmed acts include The Who, The Corrs, James Arthur, Frank Carter, Sex Pistols’ Paul Cook, Steve Jones, and Glen Matlock, as well as a comedy night hosted by Micky Flanagan. Additionally, it’s been announced that the renowned Erased Tapes label will take over March 29, presenting performances from Penguin Cafe, Daniel Brandt, Douglas Dare, and Hatis Noit. Tickets are still available here.  Looking ahead to 2026, Jamie Johnson, Head of Music & Entertainment at Teenage Cancer Trust, expressed enthusiasm for both this year’s lineup and the ‘Inbetween Days’ singer’s future involvement. “We are deeply honoured that Robert Smith, one of the most influential artists of our time, has agreed to curate the 2026 concerts,” he shared, “His dedication to the charity and incredible musical vision will make for an unforgettable week, while also raising crucial funds to support young people facing cancer.”  In other news, The Cure have always proved themselves to be advocators of charitable endeavours; most recently, the band teamed up with British producer Four Tet on his remix of their new single ‘Alone’. As per an announcement regarding Record Store Day 2025, royalties from the sale of the ‘Alone (Four Tet Remix)’ 12” will go to charity Médecins Sans Frontières.

‘Alone’ comes from The Cure’s 14th studio album ‘Songs Of A Lost World’, released late last year. It saw the band earn their first UK Number One album in 32 years, ending a 16 year creative drought. The single has since earned critical acclaim, even landing itself on NME’s Best Songs of 2024.

We’re excited to announce the line-up for this year’s #TeenageCancerGigs at the @RoyalAlbertHall!

The event will kick off on Monday, March 18, with The Who, backed by an orchestra, and special guests Squeeze. There will be a night of comedy on Tuesday, March 19, with the full line-up to be announced soon, and Wednesday, March 20 will see The Who and Squeeze welcomed back to the Royal Albert Hall for the second time. Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds will then perform on Thursday, March 21, along with indie rock special guests Blossoms.

Friday, March 22 will see Scottish progressive hip-hop group Young Fathers kick off the weekend, followed by a headline Saturday show from The Chemical Brothers, alongside DJ James Holroyd, on March 23. The week-long fundraising extravaganza will conclude on Sunday, March 24 with an Ovation, bringing together the likes of Roger Daltrey, Kelly Jones, Paul Weller, Robert Plant, Pete Townshend and Eddie Vedder to commemorate 24 successful years of performing live music for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The celebrations come with a hint of sadness, however, as this year’s event will see Roger Daltrey stepping down from his role as curator for the Teenage Cancer Trust annual concerts. Since starting in 2000, performing at the first live Teenage Cancer Trust gig with his band, The Who frontman Daltrey has been at the centre of every annual celebration. He has unceasingly inspired countless musicians to come together and perform for a very special cause year upon year, and he will now allow a series of guest curators to take up the task.

Noel Gallagher, on the positive impact the Teenage Cancer Trust has had, said, ‘The TCT continue to make a real difference to teenagers in what undoubtedly must be the most challenging years of their lives. Having performed at the very first event back in 2000 it is a charity very close to my heart.  24 years and counting is a triumph in itself. NGHFB will be there en masse. Together we will make the night unique. I’d buy a ticket if I were you.”

Tickets go on sale from 9am Friday January 12 and will be available to purchase here.

Donations to the Teenage Cancer Trust can be made here.

The charity single has been released to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust, with all proceeds from vinyl sales and an undisclosed portion of digital downloads going towards the charity.

In a press statement for the new single, Townshend said, “The pandemic years were terrible for charities; the Teenage Cancer Trust was created in order to take the money from a series of concerts at the Albert Hall every year and various other things and that had all dropped out.”

He continued, “So, the idea of doing this, which is it’s something that has sprung out of Lockdown about mental illness, but also for this particular charity. If you’ve got a scenario in which somebody in your family or a teenager has got cancer, they’re being treated, Lockdown hits, and you’re not allowed to go and visit them. There’s a poignancy to the whole thing about the song.”

The track was composed and produced by Townshend’s partner, Rachel Fuller.

Speaking on how the track came to be created, Fuller said, “We’d just moved house and Pete was as happy as Larry up in his studio, working every day, and I put my back out, I was just climbing the walls, I couldn’t do any creative work and obviously, we couldn’t go anywhere, and I really started to think about how unbelievably difficult this period of time was going to be for so many people. I wrote lyrics and then I sat at the piano and wrote the music, and then I thought, ‘Oh, I really would like to record it, because it’s really not a bad song at all’ — and my singing days are long over. So, I asked Pete to record the demo.”

On working with his partner Rachel, Townshend said, “I’ve helped Rachel make the demos for several of her theatrical projects. She’s a really a fast worker. It’s not that you say to me, ‘Let’s go into the studio for two weeks and work on this project.’ We do it two hours later, or an hour later, it’s done — so it’s easy to work with her.”

“Can’t Outrun the Truth” was recorded in Townshend’s home studio in September 2021. Townshend sings on the track as well as playing violin and lap steel guitar on it for his first solo effort in almost 30 years.

The largely acoustic rendition of the classic song comes in support of the Teen Cancer America organisation. For whom the band play an annual benefit gig from the Royal Albert Hall spanning over 7 days. This year the band were joined by other such stars as Yungblud, Ed Sheeran, Liam Gallagher, Wild Things, Madness, Paul Weller and more. Watch The Who roll back the years down below:

The specialist charity (founded by the frontman Roger Daltrey) also operates here in the UK, providing care and engagement with young people affected by cancer, as well as driving their message through Westminster via vital policy work. Spread across Great Britain, their cancer units give help to teenagers in need of treatment in the right environment. Described here as; “places where young people can be themselves, have the comforts of home while going through treatment, and meet others their age facing cancer so they feel less alone. It’s hospital that doesn’t feel like hospital.”

Aside from their generous charitable work, The Who are lining up a two-part American tour next week titled; ‘The Who Hits Back’. Roger Daltrey shared his excitement for their return to the stage, saying; “Pete and I said we’d be back, but we didn’t think we’d have to wait for two years for the privilege. This is making the chance to perform feel even more special this time around. So many livelihoods have been impacted due to COVID, so we are thrilled to get everyone back together – the band, the crew and the fans. We’re gearing up for a great show that hits back in the only way The Who know how. By giving it everything we got.”

Announcements for the tour have followed the band’s guitarist Pete Townshend and Daltrey seeming to agree that another album may not be on the cards. The former explained; “As far as a new record, it does take quite a lot of time to put together the 20 or 30 songs that are needed for both Roger [Daltrey] and I and any producer that we might be working with to cherry-pick the ones that fit the times. But our process is the old-fashioned way, and it does take a lot of time. So I don’t know, but I am optimistic. And I’m certainly full of ideas.”

#TeenageCancerGigs at the @RoyalAlbertHall are BACK for 2022 and not a moment too soon, with some of the best names in music and comedy! Tickets on sale Friday 25 Feb at 9am https://t.co/e6jo2B8WzP pic.twitter.com/gzSoyAJQ32

Another polarizing set of circumstances set to grace the week would be that of the ever-expanding scope of Yungblud, and his vow to make, “the most mental show the Albert Hall has seen in 150 years”. This promise seems to exude a polar objective to The Who, and their first live show in the UK since 2019 (other than their incredibly intimate stint of shows at PRYZM in Kingston), performing an acoustic set. The Who frontman Roger Daltrey, who actually helped to set up the Teenage Cancer Trust live series back in 2000, said in a statement, “Live music has been hit hard by the pandemic and it has been particularly frustrating for me that we haven’t been able to get artists on stage to raise money for this vitally important cause,” adding, “But we haven’t given up. My wonderful team and I have pulled out all the stops to make this 20th series of shows for Teenage Cancer Trust the best ever. I am so grateful for the loyalty and continued support given to us by the music and comedy industries.”

 Hot on the heels of claiming the NME award for Moment of the Year, Liam Gallagher is also set to make yet another charitable appearance. Say what you will about Gallagher and his never-ending opinions on an Oasis reunion (that will never happen), but the man’s heart is in the right place. Camden’s own Ska giants Madness rounds out the music for the week with what we can only expect will be a hit-packed set spreading across their 5+ decade career.

A quick reminder that the event is for charity, so any ticket costs will go straight to the Teenage Cancer Trust. But if you want to donate to the cause outside of buying tickets, you can go here for more information.

Among the items donated from the stars include Noel Gallagher’s iconic Adidas Stan Smiths, Brian May’s Vox amplifier and Cliff Richard has donated one of his personal shirts.

The Who’s Roger Daltry, a patron of the Teenage Cancer Trust, has donated several items, including clothes and an amplifier. Speaking on the Trust and the fundraiser, he said: “Young people with cancer are particularly at risk from coronavirus. And right now, Teenage Cancer Trust-funded nurses and support teams are going above and beyond to provide the care they need at a time when healthcare services are under huge pressure. They are amazing people – but not many people realise that their work is completely reliant on fundraised income and donations. So please get involved in this new fundraiser if you can. Our friends from across the entertainment industry have searched their cupboards and donated some great stuff and remember every penny raised will make a difference.”

In a statement on the Star Boot Sale, Teenage Cancer Trust wrote: “We hope that this new fundraiser will help us recoup some of the money we’ve lost after cancelling our fundraising events due to the pandemic.” They continued: “Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words “you have cancer”. Cancer can throw young people’s lives into chaos. Even for those who recover, it can have a lasting impact on their future. You can make sure specialised Teenage Cancer Trust nurses, support teams, and hospital units are there for them, throughout their cancer treatment and beyond. Together, we can reach every young person facing cancer.”

From across the entertainment industry and continents, celebrities have pitched in to raise money, including Beyoncé, who has donated an Adidas bag, signed by herself and her former band members from Destiny’s Child. Sir Ian McKellen has donated signed posters, Russell Howard has donated a meet and greet for his upcoming tour, to name a few of the 90 items up for grabs.

The Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity working to provide care for young people living with cancer. The donated items are available to buy at teenagecancertrust.org, and some items have been added to a £5 ticket raffle, giving people the chance to win some of the iconic pieces for a small price; all proceeds will go to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The participating bands include veterans AC/DC, The Who and The Damned, metal outfits Architects, Bullet For My Valentine, Bring Me The Horizon, Enter Shikari, Skindred, rock bands Don Broco, Nothing But Thieves, Thunder, Twin Atlantic, You Me At Six, and singer Deborah Bonham, sister of the legendary John Bonham.

The Teenage Cancer Trust was established back in 1990 to support and improve the lives of all young people suffering from cancer. Alongside all admirable projects and initiatives, the charity is also famous for working closely with music artists and events and as stated in their official website “not only is music a massive part of teenagers’ lives, it’s at the heart of Teenage Cancer Trust“. The charity has launched the Unseen YouTube channel streaming exclusive performances by the likes of Ed Sheeran, Muse, Rudimental, Pulp, and many more.

Moreover, the Teenage Cancer Trust also hosts annual concerts at the iconic Royal Albert Hall as the “pinnacle of [a] long-established music heritage“. Organised and championed by the charity’s patron Robert Daltrey CBE, founder and singer for the legendary The Who, previous events have seen memorable concerts by Paul McCartney, Oasis, Kasabian, The Cure, and many more. Back in 2016, Bring Me The Horizon also participated and delivered a spectacular show in support of the charity, and the official recording has just been added to all streaming platforms yesterday.

Tonight’s (October 14) event was none other than Pulp in all their irreverent glory, from a concert recorded in 2012. Teenage Cancer Trust have shared a small snippet of it: ‘This Is Hardcore’, ‘Common People’, ‘Babies’ and ‘Disco 2000’. This unseen fragment of Pulp at the Royal Albert Hall is fun and energetic and a truly great reminder of what live music is like at its best – we should all be grateful for the memory!

TONIGHT! @pulp2011 are next up in our Unseen ‘mini-gig’ series, created from archive footage of #TeenageCancerGigs at the @RoyalAlbertHall.

It’s worth watching solely for the moment when Jarvis drops to the ground and throws his legs up in the air like he’s going to do a shoulder stand. Richard Hawley is also there, on a flashy red electric guitar. As usual, Pulp’s energy is completely infectious and by half way through “com-mon peo-ple” you’ll hardly be sitting still. (Maybe I should confess that it’s my biggest regret that I’ve never seen Pulp live).

This footage feels like a real product of its time. In part, this is due to seeing the crowd socialise in close proximity and not in giant plastic bubbles, like The Flaming Lips tested out last night in Oklahoma. Also, Jarvis tells the audience affectionately that they can’t stay out too late because he has to go off and do his radio show the next day, taking us all back to Sunday afternoons of Jarvis’ carefully curated BBC 6 Music slot.

And, of course, all of this has always been for a great cause. Teenage Cancer Trust are celebrating their twentieth year of supporting young people through such a harrowing and lonely occurrence, and their numerous testimonies prove just how important this work really is. The slogan for TCT Unseen is simply “TEENAGE CANCER HASN’T STOPPED. SO WE CAN’T STOP.”

The rest of their Unseen line-up contains just as many fan favourites – you can see the entire list below. They’ve already put out sets from Muse, Paul McCartney and Stereophonics, and they’re building up to a full-length feature of The Cure’s 2014 performance to be streamed on Saturday 31^st October.  After each livestream, the shows remain on Youtube with all of the donation information, so you can watch later on and still have the opportunity to make a difference.

Teenage Cancer Trust are the only UK charity that commit to supporting all of the needs of their young people. They fund specialist cancer units, youth support coordinators and even events and networks for people with experience of cancer to come together in safe and supportive spaces. Like so many charities and industries, a great part of their fundraising and their community has been seriously affected by the pandemic. By reaching into their archives for material like this, they have gone some way to recapturing the magic of Teenage Cancer Trust for their fans, the way that music always has the power to.
