Pink Floyd was started in 1965 and has been inspiring millions of fans worldwide ever since. One of these fans is local musician Jesse Hildebrand-Nestor.

He is working with nine other musicians including his dad, Jim Nestor, to put together the second Pink Floyd tribute concert called Wish You Were Here...Again. "This event is dedicated to (Richard) Wright, as well as everyone in the world who is suffering from or has lost their life to cancer," according to the event's website.

The Wish You Were Here...Again concert will take place on November 11 at the Grand Theatre. The proceeds from the concert will go towards supporting the London Health Sciences Foundation for prostate cancer research.

In 2010, Hildebrand-Nestor wanted to find a way to celebrate the music of Pink Floyd and their former keyboardist, Richard Wright, who passed away in 2008 from cancer.

Catherine Hildebrand, who runs a clinical trial group for cancer patients and is the mother of Hildebrand-Nestor, said that her son "always wanted to put on a benefit concert with proceeds going towards cancer."

"I've lost a few close family members and friends to cancer, and I kind of related the experience to when Richard Wright from Pink Floyd died of cancer a couple of years ago. I thought the show would be a good opportunity to pay tribute to the music of Pink Floyd and raise money for cancer research at the same time," Hildebrand-Nestor said.

Last year, he and 11 other London musicians, including his father, worked hard to put together the first Wish You Were Here concert that raised nearly $20,000. That money was donated to the Gerald C. Baines Centre for Translational Cancer Research.

This year, Hildebrand-Nestor and the band hope to raise even more money and awareness for cancer research by raising money through ticket sales and a silent auction. Items in the auction include gift certificates, artwork and guitars donated by local businesses and organizations. "The retail value of all the items will be over $6,000," said Hildebrand.

The money raised will go towards the purchase of a transrectal ultrasound machine for Victoria Hospital. Hildebrand mentioned that this machine is vital to the diagnosis and research of prostate cancer.

Hildebrand mentioned that there are "many fundraisers going on in the city throughout the year" that students can get involved in. She also mentions that students can volunteer their time for the London Health Sciences Foundation if they are looking to get involved in raising awareness for cancer research.

Tickets for the concert can be purchased in advance for $40 through the Grand Theatre's website tickets.grandtheatre.com, in person at the Grand Theatre at 471 Richmond St., or by phone at 1- 800-265-1593. Hildebrand said that a student discount is also being offered for $25 with a student card in hopes of attracting more young people to this year's concert.

The doors open at 6:30 p.m. for the silent auction and the band will go on stage at 8 p.m.
