Justice Collective Hillsborough number one single added to Liverpool wall of fame
Tuesday, 26th February 2013
NINETY SIX days since the Justice Collective single was first planned, the team behind it added a gold number one disc to the Mathew Street wall of fame.
Guy Chambers, singers John Power, Gerry Marsden, Holly Johnson and Peter Hooton, guitarist Mick Jones, MP Steve Rotheram and Liverpool footballer Jamie Carragher gathered in a packed Mathew Street to officially add the single to the wall.
All the money raised from the single will go to the families of the 96 victims of the Hillsborough disaster to aid their fight for justice.
“It’s a bittersweet day,” said Mr Rotheram. “It’s great for Liverpool to have another single on the wall, but because of the tragedy this isn’t really a celebration. It’s more a thank you and a recognition of all the people who helped to get this single to number one.”
More than 100 artists performed on the cover of He Ain’t Heavy He’s My Brother, including Sir Paul McCartney and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
