Beatles superstar Sir Paul McCartney has joined the star-studded cast of a charity single honouring those who died in the tragic Hillsborough disaster.
The single, that’s aiming to becoming the Christmas #1 next month, already boasts the likes of Robbie Williams, Mel C, Paloma Faith, Richard Hawley, Shane MacGowan, Holly Cook, Beverley Knight, and more, and has now seen the addition of super-selling star Macca.
“Paul McCartney is one of - if not the - most famous sons of Liverpool, so to get him involved is fantastic,” Peter Hooton Liverpool FC’s website. “We had to keep it a secret. He only recorded it a couple of days ago and it's a very Beatles-esque guitar solo. Getting him involved was the icing on the cake, really.”
He continued: “It's not just about selling records, it's about awareness and when families come together at Christmas, this song with sentiment - this song that means something - will be in their living rooms.”
Entitled ‘He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother’, the single is set for a December 17th release, and can be pre-ordered for just £1 by texting ‘justice’ to 80010.
