Matt Goss is supporting frontline workers in the NHS with his new charity single.
The Bros star has covered Alicia Keys’ classic hit, If I Ain’t Got You, in a bid to raise £50,000 for the healthcare organisation.
The hitmaker recorded the track with Babyface, while working on songs for an upcoming new album. However, he decided to rush-release it as part of the widespread fundraising efforts to support the heroes of the NHS.
Launching a crowdfunding campaign via JustGiving, Matt has so far been able to fund over 13,000 meals to key NHS staff, as part of the 36,000 meals his fund-raising partners at Burger Bites have delivered since the outbreak began.
Matt has also been taking part in nightly late-night Instagram Live calls, getting face-to-face time with some of the key workers he’s feeding and to keep them buoyed up before they head into the Covid-19 wards.
“Despite having lived and worked in Las Vegas for the past 11 years, I feel so connected to the UK and it’s hard to put into words how touched my heart felt seeing the images of NHS workers caring for Coronavirus sufferers,” said Matt.
“Music-making and singing is in my blood and so is the UK. I am so impressed by the amazing work the NHS is doing,” he explained. ” I can’t go out on my front door and clap for carers, so I decided to help feed them to keep them going through this crisis.
“I hope my new song can do some good by getting it out early to help.”
