Overview
Frank Turner releases the incredible new single 'Long Live The Queen' on 20th October 2008 through Xtra Mile Recordings.
'Long Live The Queen' is a heartfelt, poignant story of a close friend passing away from breast cancer. Though a hard subject, Frank has written the song as a way of celebrating his friend's life and the legacy she has left behind. Lexi tirelessly campaigned and fundraised for breast cancer charities and it's with this inspiration that Frank and Xtra Mile Recordings will be donating proceeds from the sale of the single to the Breast Cancer Campaign charity.
The video is also gaining some attention. It went in at Number 3 on MTV2's Myspace Chart and it getting played on NME TV, TopShop and other places.
Frank goes on his biggest tour to date the day after the single is released – and will be playing to over 6000 people.
