SHOWBIZ and sporting stars are to perform at a charity gala in Brighton.

Boxer Frank Bruno, singer Aled Jones and TV presenter Matthew Kelly will be among the celebrity turns at Something Special.

The event at the Brighton Centre on June 6 also features harmonica player Larry Adler, ice skating champ Robin Cousins and stars from West End musicals.

They include John Barrowman, currently appearing in Beauty And The Beast, and former Bros star Luke Goss.

The show is being supported by musician Phil Collins, who has donated the original handwritten lyrics to Genesis song Tonight, Tonight, Tonight.

The words will be framed before being auctioned off by Christies in London.

Cash raised will go to the Martlets Hospice; The Sussex Beacon; the National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society and the St Thomas Fund for the homeless.
