Travis Help the Cause
Reported by simple
Travis turned their sold-out show in New York last night into a benefit concert - announcing they will donate all proceeds to local firefighters and other servicemen. Before an encore of 'Happy', singer Fran Healy announced the band's donation to the 6,000 strong crowd, which received a long, emotional ovation. He said: "There was talk about us not coming and doing the tour, but it was only talk about whether you'd want to come out. You've done yourself proud by coming out, I mean it. It's amazing. Thank you. I'd like to dedicate this song to everyone in New York."
