The Cure conclude cancer concerts

The Cure played a three-hour set

Goth-pop band The Cure have brought to a close a series of shows in aid of teenage cancer sufferers.

Lead singer Robert Smith and the rest of the band appeared at London's Royal Albert Hall in support of the Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT) on Saturday.

It was the band's first UK gig with a new line-up.

It is the sixth year the shows, co-produced by The Who's Roger Daltrey, have been held to raise funds for the TCT charity.

Past performers

Previous acts in this year's TCT concert line-up included Razorlight, Bloc Party, Goldfrapp and The Office star Ricky Gervais.

Gervais, star and co-writer of BBC comedy series Extras, took part in a comedy night.

Other past performers at the concerts include Oasis, Coldplay, Madness, Eric Clapton, Kaiser Chiefs, Paul Weller, and Franz Ferdinand.

The TCT was set up to focus on the needs of teenagers and young adults with cancer, leukaemia, Hodgkin's Disease and related diseases.

Daltrey, who was made a CBE for services to entertainment and charity last year, has helped the TCT raise millions of pounds through the concerts since they began in 2000.
