In the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire in London, English, which occurred this past June killing more than 80 people, Simon Cowell gathered together 50-plus artists to record a cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” Featuring a 300-strong choir of locals, led by Gareth Malone, and guest vocalists Queen’s Brian May, Robbie Williams, One Direction’s Liam Payne, The Who’s Roger Daltrey, James Blunt, Rita Ora, Jessie J, and others, all money raised from the sale of the song will be donated to The London Community Foundation for those affected by the fire.
