Grenfell Tower charity single released

A single to raise money for those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire has been released.

Stars including Stormzy, Robbie Williams, Rita Ora and Liam Payne recorded Bridge Over Troubled Water to help raise money for those affected, BBC News reports.

The cover of the Simon and Garfunkel classic, also featuring Craig David and
Skepta, was organised by Simon Cowell.

At least 79 people are now missing, presumed dead, following the fire in west London a

week ago.

Cowell lives in the same London borough as Grenfell Tower and announced the single last Thursday.

 
The song opens with a verse by Stormzy, who says: "I don't know where to begin / So I'll start by saying I refuse to forget you."I refuse to be silenced / I refuse to neglect you."

The London-born MC goes on to say, "That could have been my mum's house / Or that could have been my nephew", concluding, "I just hope that you're resting and free up there".
