This week, we unpack the charity concert that shook the rock world — a one-night-only mega show that raised a staggering £190 million and featured everyone from Ozzy to Yungblud, Ronnie Wood to Steven Tyler. But what made it work? Why was it so successful? And is this the new blueprint for farewell gigs?
We dig into the performances, the unexpected guest spots, and the clever format behind the scenes — and ask whether this kind of event could become the future of rock’s final bows.
