World renown DJ ‘Fatboy Slim’ has become the latest artist to offer a free concert to members of the NHS and emergency services as a way of saying ‘thank you’ for the work being done to try and combat the threat from COVID-19.
The news comes as former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher announced that he ‘and others’ would be holding a free concert at the O2 Arean in London.
In a tweet published on the 10th April, Liam said:
“It’s an honour to announce that I will be doing a gig for the NHS and careworkers at London’s The O2 on 29th October. They do an incredible job, we are very lucky to have them. LG x’
And yesterday, ‘Fatboy Slim’ announced on his twitter page that he would be holding a ‘party’ for ‘NHS doctors, nurses, support workers, porters, cleaners, ambulance, police and fire service personnel.
He also confirmed that this offer would be extended to ‘their +1’s.
