MANCHESTER music legends have agreed to perform a concert to raise £1m for the city's world famous cancer specialist Christie Hospital.
Former Smiths and New Order bassist, Andy Rourke, has enlisted the support of New Order's Peter Hook, The Charlatans and Badly Drawn Boy.
Mani, formerly of The Stone Roses, has also signed up while other bands, including Doves, hope to perform.
The concert, on January 28, will be held at the MEN Arena.
Mr Rourke told BBC Manchester he decided to arrange the concert after his manager's sister and father were diagnosed with cancer.
