Tony Christie – Thank You Day 2023
Singing legend Tony Christie has joined with Music for Dementia to launch Thank You Day 2023, taking place on Sunday 2 July. And we want you to be part of it.
Tony appeared on BBC Breakfast to announce he is re-recording ‘Thank You for Being a Friend’ by Andrew Gold as the Thank You Day anthem (the theme tune to ‘The Golden Girls’)
Tony says, “I continue to tour as I’ve found music improves the symptoms associated with my dementia, so every time I go on stage and work it’s helping me. It’s important for me to stay positive and try not to let dementia affect my life but I still need some support. If anyone deserves a thank you it’s the UK’s unseen – and unsung – army of carers. This one is for them!
“When Music for Dementia asked me to sing Thank You for Being a Friend by my old friend Andrew Gold it really felt like the stars were aligning. It is the perfect song for a day that celebrates all the good in the world and I’m so proud to be part of it.”
Thank You Day 2023 will bring the country together in musical celebration of Britain’s army of carers – the family members, neighbours and friends who change their own lives to care for people with conditions like dementia.
