Listen to Eliot Kennedy busking for his breakfast - AUDIO
ELIOT Kennedy has been singing for his supper and his breakfast - busking on the streets of Sheffield after sleeping out with the homeless.
AUDIO: Press the play button for our interview and hear him playing Picture Of You, which he wrote for Boyzone.
Eliot went homeless for 24-hours to sample life of those sleeping rough - who he is helping with a star-studded charity concert at the O2 Academy Sheffield, on Wednesday, August 11.
It's a fundraiser, organised by his One Song Foundation, to launch a new performing arts academy in Sheffield, which will give free scholarships to the homeless and other underpriviledged.
The concert will feature soul dica Mica Paris, Blue boys Lee Ryan and Antony Costa, Atomic Kitten Liz McClarnon, West End lead and pop sensation Scott Anson, disco star Kavana, singer songwriter Philippa Hanna, comedian Toby Foster and more.
But Eliot busked some of his own hit songs on the streets outside the O2 Academy after his night sleeping rough.
