Rocker Ronnie Wood
thrilled a celebrity-packed crowd when he took to the stage for a
surprise performance at a charity gala in London on Wednesday night
(20Mar13).
The Rolling Stones star joined blues legend James Cotton and
saxophonist MACeo Parker onstage at the U.K. capital's Roundhouse venue
for Save the Children's annual A Night of Blues.
Guests
including Helena Bonham Carter and her director partner Tim Burton,
actress Joely Richardson and model Erin O'Connor, were also treated to
performances by KT Tunstall and singer/songwriter Dr. John.
The
bash raised more than $1.6 million (£1 million) for the charity through
ticket sales and the night's auction, with an original illustration by
Burton from his classic movie Edward Scissorhands raising $98,000
(£65,000).
