Paul Weller invited Roger Daltrey on stage with him last night (March 24), to perform a live rendition of The Who’s ‘So Sad About Us’.
The moment took place during the closing night event for the 2024 Teenage Cancer Trust gig series, dubbed ‘Ovation’. It was billed as “a celebration of 24 years of gigs” for the charity, and saw live performances from Weller, Daltrey, Kelly Jones, Robert Plant with Saving Grace and Eddie Vedder.
Taking place at the historic Royal Albert Hall after kicking off the 2024 concert series on Monday (March 18), soloist and former frontman of The Jam opened the night by performing an eight-song setlist.
This started with two tracks taken from his 2018 album ‘True Meanings’: starting the show with ‘Gravity’ and following on with a rendition of ‘Mayfly’. Other solo tracks included ‘Amongst Butterflies’, ‘Rockets’ and ‘Wild Wood’, as well as a performance of The Style Council’s 1985 track ‘A Man Of Great Promise’.
It was during the penultimate song of his set that Weller surprised the audience by inviting the shows’ curator Roger Daltrey to the stage for an impromptu rendition of The Who’s 1966 track ‘So Sad About Us’ – a collaboration he said they hadn’t rehearsed for.
He closed out his set by playing ‘That’s Entertainment’, which he originally shared as part of The Jam back in 1980.
