Rock icons unite for Roger Daltrey’s exhibition

They have ruled the charts for decades and boast a combined wealth of over £426million.

And Roger Daltrey, 73, ensured he used their combined star-power – and age of 578 – to pull in publicity for his fundraising rock exhibition in London.

The Who frontman managed to gather some of the world’s most iconic music gods in the same room at the same time, including The Kinks’ Sir Ray Davies, 73, Alice Cooper, 69, Sir Tom Jones, 77, and former Rolling Stones’ rocker Bill Wyman, 81.

 

Legendary line-up: Roger Daltrey, 73, gathered some of the world’s most iconic rockers – with a combined age of 578 and fortune of £426 million – to pull in publicity for his fundraising rock exhibition in London this week

Others in the line-up of legends included folk singer Donovan, 71, Humble Pie’s Peter Frampton, 67, Small Faces’ Kenney Jones, and John Paul Jones from Lez Zeppelin. 

The gathering was in honour of the The Adoration Trilogy Unveiling at the London’s Victoria and Albert Museum.

The bash was a celebration of the unveiling of the first section of The Adoration Trilogy, a photograph showcase celebrating some of the greatest legends in the music industry.

The display will raise funds for a cause close to Daltrey’s heart, the Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America.

One such legend who was in attendance was rock legend Alice Cooper, 69, who was rocking his trademark classic all-black look.

In a bizarre photo collaboration, Alice was seen posing with former I’m A Celebrity star and nutritionist Gillian McKeith, 58, and her daughter Afton, 17.

Donning a far more revealing ensemble than usual, Gillian was rocking a tiny black peplum minidress and floor-length lace robe complete with a train, finishing the look with racy netting tights.

Afton donned a stylish lace look, adding to the bohemian chic vibe with a floral headdress and her copper tresses in long curls.

Welsh legend Sir Tom Jones, 77, rocked a grey checked suit for the evening, after featuring in the photo exhibition alongside legends such as Barry Gibb and Sir Paul McCartney.

Sadie and Darren appeared to be back on good terms on Monday night after the brunette beauty was seen handing her beau back a ring during an emotional exchange in May.

The couple had met at a north London cafe, but left shortly after the awkward exchange, with an onlooker claiming Darren had left in tears.

Pictures taken of the pair showed them conversing, but Sadie cut a melancholy figure during their meeting.

Darren was seen wiping his eyes as he exited the eatery with his dog in tow.

A source had told the Daily Mirror: ‘Sadie looked really upset, she put her hand on Darren’s head and handed him her ring.

‘She looked particularly downbeat as they left the cafe and Darren was crying.’
