Robert Plant & Deep Purple legends sign on for charity event

Robert Plant has signed on for a benefit concert in London that will also feature Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice and former Purple keyboardist Jon Lord. They'll perform with a house band that includes ex-Whitesnake guitarist Bernie Marsden, Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera, and former Paul McCartney keyboardist Paul "Wix" Wickens. The September 14th event at the Porchester Halls is billed as The Sunflower Jam, and it will raise money for complimentary therapies like spiritual healing, therapeutic touch, reflexology, and aromatherapy massage, which will be administered alongside more traditional cancer treatments, both for patients and their families.

Pink Floyd's David Gilmour and Procol Harum's Gary Brooker have also been invited, but there's no confirmation yet as to whether they will attend.
