(ANI):
Brit
singer
songwriter
Rod
Stewart
has
started
a
new
campaign
to
get
musicians
to
busk
on
the
streets
for
charity.
Stewart,
64,
who
beat
thyroid
cancer,
became
a
patron
of
Busking
Cancer
2009.
The
week-long
event
aims
to
raise
cash
for
Cancer
Research
UK
through
busking.
“When
it
comes
to
busking,
I"m
your
man.
That"s
how
I
started
in
the
early
1960s
on
the
streets
of
Paris," the
Sun
quoted
him
as
saying.
“It"s
what
music
is
all
about
-
just
getting
out
there
and
singing
or
playing
for
the
sheer
joy
of
it,"
he
added.
