BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER – ARTISTS FOR GRENFELL

Following the catastrophic fire at Grenfell Tower in West London on Wednesday June 14th, the music community has come together.

Simon Cowell has also donated £100k of his own money saying "he has never felt so emotional"

He said the anger he felt after the Grenfell Tower inferno is what prompted him to organise a charity single. "I felt how everyone felt when they saw the news. I was angry, upset, thinking what the hell do you do?"

"It's not far from where I live, so when I drove up there, and you saw this tower, it wasn't great.

Over three days from Saturday June 17th, artists from across the music industry have united to record a version of the Simon and Garfunkel classic Bridge Over Troubled Water.

The track has been recorded at Sarm Studios in West London – half a mile from Grenfell.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Artists for Grenfell will be released at 8am on Wednesday June 21st, a week after the tragedy.

It will be aired at that time across BBC radio stations and the Global commercial network. The video will then premiere on Wednesday evening on ITV before Coronation Street. All proceeds collected through Artists for Grenfell will be distributed via The London Community Foundation.
