OZZY OSBOURNE Narrates Intro For New Song "This Christmas Time" In Benefit Of Cancer Awareness Trust; PINK FLOYD's Nick Mason, SLADE's Noddy Holder Featured

Available to download and stream on Friday, December 16 is the latest release from Evamore, entitled "This Christmas Time", which will benefit The Cancer Awareness Trust's new Cancer Platform.

"This Christmas Time" features a number of rock legends, singers, actors, the trust's founder Prof. Sir Chris Evans and their very own Ambassador, Nina Lopes.

Ozzy Osbourne narrates a moving introduction to open the new track and Slade's Noddy Holder ends the song wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

The song was recorded at Abbey Road Studios and features guitarist Andy Taylor of Duran Duran, who recently revealed his own battle with cancer, drummer Nick Mason of Pink Floyd, lead vocalist Casi Wyn, Nick Lloyd Webber on piano, Polly Wiltshire on viola and singer Reebz on vocal harmonies.

Actress and singer Samantha Womack, who has also recently shared her cancer journey, provides backing vocals, as does first time singer Nina Lopes, an Ambassador for The Cancer Awareness Trust. The song was produced and mixed by Matt Bond who also played bass guitar and Prof. Sir Chris Evans who also played guitar

"This Christmas Time", written by Prof. Sir Chris, is inspired by the heroism and letters home from World War 1 British soldiers at Christmas.

“It’s an honour and a delight to be asked to play on this record… I mean, what’s not to like? My favourite recording studio, the opportunity to work with great artists on a wonderful track - and for the most worthy cause… Oh, and complimentary lunch in the Abbey Road canteen!” - Nick Mason

“I was delighted to join the many artists adding their voice to the album from Evamore. I recorded a full narrative, telling the story of some incredibly brave World War 1 soldiers, to feature on the album in 2023 and a short christmas message for This Christmas Time.” - Noddy Holder

The song is available to play now on The Cancer Platform website. Listen and get more information here.
