If you are a fan of Joe Cocker or at least like his songs (or covers) like “With A Little Help From My Friends” or “You Are so Beautiful“, don’t miss his concert in Starobrno/Rondo arena on October 7, 2010.

John Robert “Joe” Cocker, OBE (born on 20 May 1944 in Sheffield, England) is an English rock/blues musician, composer and actor who came to popularity in the 1960s, and is most known for his gritty voice, his idiosyncratic arm movements while performing, and his cover versions of popular songs, particularly those of The Beatles. He is the recipient of several awards, including a 1983 Grammy Award for his song “Up Where We Belong”, a duet which he performed with Jennifer Warnes. He was ranked #97 on Rolling Stone’s 100 greatest singers list. (Wikipedia)

Tickets cost CZK 990 and can be bought online.
