Def Leppard have announced a new digital single, a cover of Ben E. King’s classic “Stand by Me,” with proceeds going to L.A.’s FireAid charity to support all that were affected by the recent wildfires.

“Los Angeles and its surrounding area has always played a central role in Def Leppard’s career, from it being where some of us are based and it being our U.S. hub for rehearsals, to being the city where we played our first-ever American gig,” singer Joe Elliott said in a statement. “We feel blessed to be able to dedicate this song and give all the royalties to the amazing heroes in L.A. helping those affected by the fire. No better song.”

The cover was originally included in the Netflix film Bank of Dave II, which is currently available to stream in the U.K.

The single release follows the massive January 30th FireAid benefit, comprised of two simultaneous concerts at L.A.’s KIA Forum and Intuit Dome. The concerts featured Billie EilishOlivia RodrigoLady GagaRod StewartSting, and more.

While the horrific fires in Los Angeles County were still raging, some of music’s biggest names spoke out and shared resources for those affected.

The Weeknd, Eilish, Ariana GrandeShawn Mendes, and more stars took to social media to express sympathy for the disaster and to call their large fan bases to action. “My heart is with everyone impacted by the devastating LA fires, sharing some organizations to support who are responding to those affected in real time,” Grande wrote on her Instagram story, per Billboard.

Led Zeppelin the Best Band of all time Led#1 forever, Led Zeppelin, formed in 1968, consisted of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham. After reshaping the sound of rock with their debut Led Zeppelin (1969), they followed with Led Zeppelin II (1969), III (1970), and IV (1971), which featured the immortal “Stairway to Heaven.” The band seamlessly blended blues, hard rock, and folk influences with unmatched intensity. Physical Graffiti (1975) and Presence (1976) showed their experimental range, while In Through the Out Door (1979) reflected musical evolution. Known for mystique and explosive live shows, Zeppelin avoided releasing singles, encouraging full-album experiences. The band dissolved after Bonham’s death in 1980, but their 2007 reunion at the O2 Arena proved their enduring magic. Selling over 300 million records, Led Zeppelin are Rock Hall inductees and cultural cornerstones, often cited as the greatest rock band in history.

Sabbath formed the year I was born, first song I learned on guitar was Sweet L3af, saw Ozzy in ‘82 just after the plane crash, countless Ozfest’s, 1998 reunion show, etc etc….. I’ve seen a lot of fans talking about what band was uninvited, or who didn’t live up to the hype, or which band shouldn’t have been there… I watched the entire show and, for me, the lifetime soundtrack was as touching and meaningful as a McCartney concert…
