Leo Sayer announces download only single for 'Help For Heroes' campaign

LEO SAYER, one of the most successful British singer-songwriters of the last four decades, makes a long overdue and very welcome return to the recording fray by way of a fine new download-only single release,
COMING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS – to be released on Monday December 19th 2011.
As the title suggests, the single is a seasonal offering – but with a difference. For COMING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS is a poignant, touching and heartfelt song written from the point of view of a serving soldier returning home from a tour of duty – with "shrapnel scars and a weeping eye".

Proceeds from the sale of the single, which is available from iTunes, will go to the HELP FOR HEROES campaign (www.helpforheroes.org.uk), an acclaimed charity dedicated to providing help and support for wounded servicemen and women.

LEO SAYER rose to prominence in the mid – 1970s, having penned (along with David Courtney) the entirety of DALTREY, the first solo album by lead singer with The Who, ROGER DALTREY. Sayer himself, then memorably dressed in Pierrot garb, enjoyed a smash hit with the single The Show Must Go On in December 1973, the first in a string of international hit records that includes such classics as When I Need You and Thunder In My Heart.
