Keane "The Night Sky" War Child Exclusive

War Child patrons Keane are continuing to show their support for our work by donating profits from their new single ‘The Night Sky’ to our cause. What a thoroughly nice bunch of guys. The single will be available to download exclusively at www.warchildmusic.com from 22nd October before going on full release on 29th October.

‘The Night Sky’, produced by Keane and Andy Green, is written from a child's perspective about the war-torn devastation around them. It's yet another beautifully moving piece of work from a band that just keeps getting better. Lead singer Tom Chaplin explained why Keane wanted to be involved:

"We are very proud to be patrons of War Child. One child dies every three minutes because of armed conflict, and all of us can do something about it. War Child do something quite extraordinary and unique in helping to make the lives of future generations better, we hope everyone wants be a part of that." Read more.
