Ken, who now lives in California with wife Nora Howie, a physic medium, said: “It’s something we’ve done for a while. We once took over 100 homeless people to one of our shows at the Armadillo in Glasgow.

"I’ve given away tickets to veteran’s charities and to care homes. Now I want to say thanks to all the key workers who have worked so hard.

"All I ask is that they message me through my website and then they will be asked for ID badges at the door on the night."
