Sir Roger Daltrey CBE has been granted Knighthood in King Charles’ Birthday Honours. In addition to Daltrey’s notable contribution to British music and culture for over 50 years, he has been responsible for raising tens of millions of pounds for Teenage Cancer Trust, among other causes.
Roger said in a statement: “It is a wonderful honour for me and especially for Teenage Cancer Trust. I accept this award not only for myself but on behalf of all the unsung heroes who have given their energy towards making the Teenage Cancer Trust the success it has become. The likes of The Who and their fans, Angie Jenkison, Lindsay Hughes, Des Murphy, Rob Ballantine and the late Chris York are some of many who have done so much to elevate the charity, to the point where it now has 28 specialist units in NHS hospitals across the U.K.”
