Led Zeppelin, Queen & Iron Maiden members rock Sunflower Jam


Classic rock stars were out in full force at London’s Royal Albert Hall Sunday night for Sunflower Jam 2012.

The 6th annual event raised funds for a UK cancer charity of the same name, founded by Jacky Paice, wife of Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice.

The evening, hosted by actor Jeremy Irons, consisted of many very special performances and collaborations from artists such as Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, Brian May of Queen, Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson, Alice Cooper, Ian Paice, Mark King, Alfie Boe, Kerry Ellis, Jerry Brown, Margo Buchanan, Micky Moody, Murray Gould, Nick Fyffe, Sandi Thom, Steve Balsamo, Temperance Movement, Uli Jon Roth and Wix Wickins.

This year's Sunflower Jam will be committed to improving the treatment and care of patients with pancreatic cancer.

The Sunflower Jam will use the proceeds of this year's Jam to do original research on integrated approaches to pancreatic cancer and also produce an easily readable summary of promising treatments for patients with pancreatic cancer, which will include conventional medicine, lifestyle approaches including nutrition, complementary treatments such as immune Modulation Therapy and hyperthermia, treatments are beginning to look promising such as photodynamic therapy and the ways in which the mind can be harnessed to help fight this disease.
