Today, the charity record to raise money for the Grenfell Tower tragedy has been released. Upon hearing the news, Simon Cowell took to Twitter and pledged to round up as many recording artists as he could to create a charity single to raise money for the families and victims.
We hope to confirm a record tomorrow which will raise some money for the many people affected by this tragedy. Making calls tonight.

Cowell came together with over 50 artists to create the 'Artists for Grenfell' group. According to its website, all donations made "will be used by The London Community Foundation to help those in need".
The charity single was released on iTunes and Spotify at 8 am this morning and a video will follow tonight on ITV right before Coronation Street.
For those in the UK, the video will then premiere on ITV before Coronation Street tomorrow night.
