X Factor stars have visited Headley Court military rehabilitation centre, in Epsom to record a video for charity Help For Heroes.
They have already recorded a cover of Mariah Carey’s hit Hero for the charity, X Factor’s first ever charity single.
The single will help raise the money needed for refurbishing out-of-date facilities at the military’s rehabilitation centres in Birmingham’s Selly Oak Hospital and at the Tri-Services base, Headley Court.
All 12 finalists performed the song live on the X Factor stage on October 25 and the track is available for download now.
The single hit the shops on October 27, a few weeks before Remembrance Sunday.
Help For Heroes is a charity that supports the rehabilitation of British troops injured in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The charity offered to split the money from the single with the Poppy Day campaign.
Headley Court hospital currently serves 180 military patients and has recently increased the number of beds available for patients with serious injuries from 18 to 66.
Having been a patient at Headley Court on numerous occasions I am overwhelmed by the support of the British people and would like to thank everyone for their continued backing.
