Bizarrely rock band The White Stripes gave an exclusive gig for the Chelsea Pensioners! The unusual gig took place in the State Apartments where Mozart once performed. Proceeds from a gig last night went towards the Chelsea Pensioners’ Appeal and help build a new care home at the site.
Unsurprisingly, one Chelsea pensioner said: “I thought it was excellent. It’s not my scene really because it’s a different type of music altogether but I thought they were very very good.”
Another admitted: “It was nice but I wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to them.”
