Joan Jett & The Blackhearts have posted a new live video of the band performing "Light Of Day" while in self-isolation, coming together via mobile technology. Check it out below.
"Light Of Day" is taken from the 1987 movie of the same name starring Jett and Michael J. Fox. It was written by Bruce Springsteen specifically for the film.
Joan Jett recently took to social media to pay tribute to Alan Merrill, who co-wrote her 1982 mega-hit, "I Love Rock 'N' Roll". Merrill, who died in New York on Sunday, March 29th due to complications from COVID-19, co-wrote the song with his Arrows bandmate Jake Hooker, the band recorded the song in 1975.
Merrill's daughter, Laura, confirmed her father's passing via Facebook (see below).
Joan Jett posted the following: "I've just learned of the awful news that Alan Merrill has passed. My thoughts and love go to his family, friends and music community as a whole. I can still remember watching the Arrows on TV in London and being blown away by the song that screamed hit to me. With deep gratitude and sadness, wishing him a safe journey to the other side." 🖤
