Joanne said: "I miss my dad terribly, I want to keep his memory alive by continuing to support the military charities he loved, as well as extend a big thank you to our service men and women who work so hard to keep us safe."

Eliot has sold millions of records world-wide and has mentored megastars such as Little Mix. He co-wrote the Broadway smash Finding Neverland with long-term song-writing partner, Gary.
