Elton John, Roger Daltrey and Robert Plant are amongst the musicians getting together to record a tribute song to the late John Peel, the proceeds of which will go to Amnesty. They're joined by, amongst others, Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks, Pink Floyd's Dave Gilmour, The Futureheads, The Datsuns and El Presidente on the recording of the track, a cover of Buzzcocks hit 'Ever Fallen In Love'. The single will get its first play simultaneously across all BBC Radio stations on 10 Oct, with the video getting its first airing on Channel 4 the same day, three days before John Peel Day on 13 Oct.
Elton John, who sings and plays piano on the track said: "It is always important to remember people who encouraged and helped you early in your career. The thing I loved about John was his passion for new music and his praise for things he totally believed in."
