Simon Cowell told Good Morning Britain that: ‘for me in my position, not to do something would be appalling. So I wrote to all the record label heads and I basically said let’s all work together, there’s a bigger cause here.’
MBE Emeli Sande, told the BBCthat she hopes the single shows ‘the power of community and the strength of people. This is the beauty of London, the integration makes it so incredible. Donations can be made directly via artistsforgrenfell.com.
