Folk rock legend Neil Young and his band Chrome Hearts will open an upcoming European tour with a free concert in Ukraine, according to a post on his website.

Neil Young is bringing new meaning to "Rockin' in the Free World," announcing plans to give his Ukrainian fans a free concert during his upcoming European tour. News of Young's upcoming concert were announced by the Canadian music veteran on his own Neil Young Archives website.

Fair play to Neil Young. Whilst most 79-year-olds are content to see out their remaining years pottering around the garden or playing with their grandkids, Young will be playing in a war zone - he’s announced that he’ll be staging a gig in Ukraine later this year.
