Tears in Heaven was originally
recorded by Eric Clapton in 1991 following the death of his son.
Announcing the line-up recently, Sharon Osbourne commented: "The
whole of my family were supposed to go to Thailand three days
after the disaster happened. This is why I personally feel so
connected to the tragedy. It just goes to prove how uncontrollable
nature is and the tragedy it can bring.
"My heart goes out to every person affected by this tragedy
and that is why I am putting together this in the hope of raising
more funds to help these people rebuild their lives... especially
the children."
Everyone has come together for this project and offered their
time and full commitment without question.
The track will be released on Sony/BMG. The date of release is
still to be confirmed.
All money raised from the single will go to Save the Children.
