Pete Townshend has tapped his pal Eddie Vedder to perform on a bill for a concert
benefiting the Britain's Teenage Cancer Trust, to be held at London's Royal Albert hall on
Nov. 27. Joining the Who and Vedder will be Paul Weller and Oasis's Noel Gallagher who,
like Vedder, will be performing without his band. Other special guests are being kept
under wraps until show day, according to the UK Sun. Tickets for the bash, called "Teenage
Wards Not Teenage Wasteland," went on sale Oct. 13 at the Albert Hall Box Office in
London. The band hopes to raise $400,000 for the charity, which builds hospital units
specially tailored for teenagers. "When I wrote a line about a teenage wasteland in the
Seventies," Townshend said to the British press, "I didn't foresee that could apply to the
lack of facilities in the NHS [National Health Service] for teenagers with cancer in the
year 2000" . . .
