At the 25th Music Industry Trusts Gala Ceremony held in London, an award was presented to Roger Daltrey, the singer of The Who, for his exceptional contributions to the music and entertainment industries, alongside his charitable work.
Daltrey expressed, “It’s wonderful to receive this recognition from my friends and peers within the music industry…”
“I take pride in being part of the honourees who have received this award before me, and Nordoff Robbins and the Brit Trust are both fantastic charities. The Who were part of it from the start…”
The award was presented to Roger Daltrey by Jeremy Clarkson.
Attending the event at the Grosvenor Hotel was Sir Tom Jones.
The evening was hosted by Jo While, with performances by Keane, The Shires, and The Wilko Johnson Band, along with personal messages from Robert Plant, Paul Weller, and Roger Taylor.
According to David Munns OBE, the chairman of the MITS Award Committee, the award honors Daltrey for his ‘unique music as a solo artist and as a member of The Who, along with his relentless philanthropic efforts that align with the aims of the Mits.’
