Zanglegende Joe Cocker heeft een OBE overhandigd gekregen. Joe ontving de Koninklijke onderscheiding in de categorie Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire voor zijn bijdrage aan de muziek. De in Sheffield geboren artiest reageerde, "I was genuinely very surprised to hear that I would be receiving the OBE - having lived in America for so long I didn't even think I would ever be considered for this honour. performed at the Queen's Party at the Palace in 2002 for the Golden Jubilee, and last month my latest album made the UK top ten for the first time in a long time, and I'm looking forward to playing the Tower of London Festival in July, so these are exciting times for me. I am humbled to be in such illustrious company, along with many other Bitish musicians that I admire."
Joe Cocker is momenteel op tournee door Europa, waarbij hij op zaterdag 7 juli optreedt op het Bospop festival in Weert (23.00 uur, mainstage). Onlangs bracht hij zijn album Hymn For My Soul uit.
