NEWS Ed Sheeran Joins Don McLean to Perform 'Vincent' for Charity Fundraiser Along with Van Morrison and Roger Daltrey (Pacific Palisades, CA) -  Grammy Award winner Ed Sheeran joined legendary American singer, songwriter and performer Don McLean for a special duet performance of Don's hit single "Vincent" to help raise funds for Teen Cancer America (TCA) and UCLA Health. At the Backyard Concert 2018, McLean also joined Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Van Morrison and Roger Daltrey for a private concert and live auction. The invite-only event, the fifth in a series that began a decade ago to raise awareness and funds for UCLA Health's Autism program, launched the Daltrey-Townshend Teen and Young Adult Cancer Program at UCLA and spearheaded the establishment of Teen Cancer America. Judd Apatow served as Master of Ceremonies for the evening and Howie Mandel as auctioneer for the live auction of a rare collection of music memorabilia and art that was auctioned off throughout the evening. Included in the auction lot was a guitar donated by The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation that experts are saying may be the most valuable ever built for a charity event. The handcrafted guitar, inspired by the Holly classic song, "Learning The Game," is signed by 75 of the greatest living musicians including Eric Clapton, Robert Plant, Brian May, Bruce Springsteen, Don McLean, Donovan, Brian Wilson, Keith Richards, Dion, Peter Frampton, Graham Nash, Don Everly and Elvis Costello, just to name a few. Peter Bradley Jr. of The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation has spent the last 18 months traveling the world capturing the signatures and stories about how Holly inspired other artists, in preparation for donating the guitar to Teen Cancer America as part of a newly established partnership between the two organizations.
