In a heartwarming display of family unity, McFly singer Tom Fletcher is set to perform on stage with his son Buzz for the first time during the BBC’s 2025 Children in Need Appeal Show. Scheduled for November 14 at 7pm BST, this event will mark a significant milestone in both their careers and charitable efforts.
Performing Together for the First Time
Buzz Fletcher, who is 11 years old, expressed his excitement about performing with his father. “I am so excited to be performing alongside my dad for the first time on TV,” he said. “I have seen how incredibly hard my dad has worked on the animation and book, so feel really proud to be standing beside him for such a brilliant cause.”
Special Performance with Pudsey
The duo will perform a special song from the upcoming 25-minute animated film, “Pudsey and the Thread of Hope,” which focuses on themes of connection and togetherness. The film is set to air this December and aims to bring people closer by celebrating the legacy of Pudsey, Children in Need’s mascot.
A Night to Remember for Charity
The 2025 Appeal Show will feature performances from various celebrities, including Lewis Capaldi, Eurovision contestants, and stars from popular BBC shows. The event is expected to raise vital funds and awareness to support children across the UK who are facing challenges that no one should face alone.
“When I was invited to perform a song from the animation with my son for the very first time, I knew it was a truly special opportunity,” said Tom Fletcher. “Sharing that moment together will be so incredibly meaningful, especially as it celebrates Pudsey’s 40-year legacy.”
Tom Fletcher added, “Across the UK, children and young people are facing challenges that no one should face alone. Everyone needs a thread of hope, and I hope that through this performance – as well as the animation and book – we can raise vital funds and awareness to ensure children have the support, care, and connection they need when it matters most.”
The 2025 Appeal Show will also be available to stream on BBC iPlayer, making it accessible to a wider audience.
The show is part of a long-standing tradition that began in 1980 with the first broadcast raising £1 million. Since then, Children in Need has raised over £1 billion for various charitable causes.
As families and fans tune in, they can look forward to an evening filled with entertainment and the power of family support. The performance by Tom Fletcher and Buzz is set to be a memorable moment, combining talent, love, and charity in one special event.
