Tom Hingston said: “The idea for the show was to mark 20 years of the charity’s shows at the Royal Albert Hall and their connection to music – something that is very close to our hearts.
“We are proud to have been able to realise this project, in spite of everything this year, with some truly exceptional talent and great friends of the studio. We hope you enjoy looking at the work and feel inspired to play a part in raising funds for this incredibly important organisation.”
Tom Hingston has previously created album artwork with The Rolling Stones, Massive Attack, Grace Jones, David Bowie, Nick Cave and The Chemical Brothers to name but a few.
UNKLE’S James Lavelle comments: “It’s an honour to work with Tom Hingston and be amongst such great artists to support such a worthy cause, to help inspire and support these amazing kids through such difficult times.”
Savages singer Jehnny Beth says: “We are delighted to be part of this campaign to support Teenage Cancer Trust. The world pandemic has had an impact on everyone but if we have learnt anything from this year it’s that there is power in communities and the need to support each other.”
