Vocalist Jon Bon Jovi will record a song with the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry , this Friday, the 28th.
The lead singer commented on this unlikely partnership during an interview on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show . The first rumors about this collaboration surfaced earlier in the week. Now, confirmation has come from both Bon Jovi and Prince Harry himself.
The recording is set to take place at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London. According to People magazine, the chosen song is expected to be a re-recording of the single "Unbroken".
Originally, the song was used in the documentary "To Be Of Service," which follows American army veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Now the new version should raise funds for the Invictus Games , a multi-sport competition between army veterans who were injured or suffered lasting consequences.
The Invictus Games were created by Prince Harry himself and have been held since 2014.
“He said ‘YES’ so let’s do it!” Bon Jovi revealed in the interview. “I’m going to hand him a tambourine and see what he can do.”
Interestingly, this is likely to be one of Prince Harry's last actions as a member of the British royal family. Last month, he and his wife, Meghan Markle , announced their intention to step back from their duties as members of the royal family and no longer use their titles.
