Stars Cover 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' For Grenfell Tower Victims

The record industry has banded together to release a gorgeous cover of “Bridge Over Troubled Water” to raise money for those impacted by the Grenfell Tower fire.

Simon Cowell organized the cover of the classic 1970 Simon and Garfunkel song, gathering more than 50 artists to take part in the project. Proceeds from the single, which is available on iTunes, will go toward The London Community Foundation.

The choir was led by Gareth Malone, who told The Sun that “seeing how emotional the local residents became while singing was really moving.”

“Some of them actually lived in Grenfell Tower. Their homes have been destroyed. It’s very raw for a lot of them.”
