If you saw Hozier on The Late Late Show a few weeks back, no doubt you'll have been mesmerised by his haunting version of 'The Parting Glass'.
The Wicklow musician performed the song in tribute to those who had lost their lives in the current pandemic and it brought many viewers to tears.
Now, after a hugely positive response to the song, he is releasing it as a digital single this Friday.
All proceeds will go to ISPCC Childline, who have been running their #NeverGiveUpOnAChildEver campaign in recent weeks. A number of Irish musicians have been livestreaming gigs from their homes for the charity.
The single is out on Friday, April 17th - and in the meantime, you can also donate €4 by texting CHILDHOOD to 50300.
Such a poignant moment from @Hozier.. the parting glass capturing the mood of the nation really. #StayHomeSaveLives #LateLateShow
