Annie Lennox has teamed up with daughter Lola for a stunning performance of Simon & Garfunkel’s classic hit Bridge Over Troubled Water.
The mother-daughter duo will perform the track during the ‘We For India’ fundraiser, airing globally on Sunday, August 15, and ahead of the show they shared a preview on social media.
With former Eurythmics star Annie on piano, the singers expertly blended harmonies for a standout rendition of the iconic tune.
“There is not one country in the world that hasn’t been impacted by the Covid pandemic,” said Annie in a statement.
“The fight to reduce infection and ‘flatten the curve’ is still well beyond reach of many nations and India has lain at the epicentre of this challenge.
“We are all citizens of Planet Earth, therefore as a global citizen it is an honour and privilege to take part in the ‘We For India’ event – putting a special emphasis on the ‘We’!”
Lola added: “It’s an honour to perform at the global broadcast for ‘We For India’. Music has a power that unites and inspires, and I hope that the musical contributions in this event moves viewers into supporting this urgent cause.
This is an opportunity to raise funds that are so needed to tackle the long-term impact of the Covid devastation in India.
“To witness the population uniting behind this significant cause, gives me hope that if we try, we can make the future a better place.”
Other performers on the bill include Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger and disco icons Nile Rodgers and Sister Sledge, along with over 100 major stars from the world of music, film, comedy and sports.
