An all-star line-up has been confirmed for a one-off concert honouring broadcaster Bob Harris OBE at London's Royal Albert Hall on 2 December.
Stand By Me: A Celebration of Life in Music will bring together artists including Roger Daltrey, Paul Weller, Robert Plant, Carly Pearce, Rick Wakeman, Chris Difford, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Judie Tzuke, Kate Rusby, Saving Grace, The Shires, Kezia Gill and Toby Lee.
Harris, 80, left BBC Radio 2 in June after 30 years to focus on his ongoing treatment for cancer. The veteran DJ has championed americana, country and roots music on the station since the mid-1990s.
Kezia Gill, whose music Harris introduced to Radio 2 audiences, said: "To be invited to perform at the Royal Albert Hall as part of this incredible celebration of Bob Harris is a huge honour. Bob has been such an incredible supporter of my music over the years, and like so many artists, I owe him a great deal."
Harris said in a statement: "I've been blessed and honoured to have been there with all these artists right at the beginning of their careers, so we all have long working relationships and deep friendships."
He added: "I truly love the Royal Albert Hall too. I first began attending concerts there in 1968, and it is, to me, the most beautiful and prestigious venue in Britain."
Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 7 August via the Royal Albert Hall website.
