Def Leppard have released a cover version of Stand By Me, the soul classic that was originally a hit for Ben E. King in 1961. Proceeds from sales of the song will be donated to FireAid, the charity dedicated to rebuilding communities devastated by the Californian wildfires.
"Los Angeles and its surrounding area has always played a central role in Def Leppard's career," says frontman Joe Elliott, "from it being where some of us are based and it being our US hub for rehearsals, to being the city where we played our first-ever American gig.
