"Madchester" band the Happy Mondays, best known for their album Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches, are helping to buy a cancer drug for the former Factory Records boss Tony Wilson.
The £3,500 a month treatment will keep Mr Wilson's kidney cancer at bay after the NHS refused to fund his treatment. He was diagnosed with cancer last year, and has had a kidney removed.
His doctors at the Christie hospital, in Manchester, recommended that he should be treated with Sutent, a drug that has doubled the life expectancy of some patients in trials.
