#TOS2020 <\/strong>\u2013 the remake of the The Mission<\/strong>\u2019s anthemic hit ‘Tower Of Strength’<\/strong><\/a>released to raise money for Covid-related charities worldwide \u2013 is out now digitally, along with two new videos – for the Trentem\u00f8ller<\/strong><\/a> remix and a new lyric video<\/strong><\/a>, including many of the artists involved. All proceeds to charities personally chosen by each contributor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From #TOS2020<\/strong> creator Wayne Hussey<\/strong>:\u201cThis new video for the beautiful Trentem\u00f8ller remix of ‘Tower Of Strength 2020’ was directed by James Sharples. The live footage is taken from a Mission video and shows us setting up before a gig, and it deliberately ends on a hopeful note to remind us that in the not too distant future we can all get together to make and enjoy loud music in a room again.\u201d  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“At the moment the money raised by TOS2020 is close to \u00a3100k, which is fantastic. It won\u2019t stop once it\u2019s out and will continue to raise money as long as orders are placed and streaming and publishing revenues come in. The funds will continue to accumulate, which is exactly what we wanted….<\/em> I want to keep thanking everyone for their support \u2013 it\u2019s a hard time financially for people and there\u2019s a long road ahead. The digital bundle contains 5 awesome tracks for just \u00a32.99, it all helps those that need it most and<\/em> the proceeds will be divided and distributed equally among all the beneficiaries. Thank you.\u201d<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full version video, directed and edited by Savannah Perry<\/strong>, offers insight into the TOS2020 ‘Beholden To The Front-Line Workers Of The World mix’<\/strong><\/a>, revealing who sings which lines, who plays which guitar solo, drums, etc. throughout the song. Earlier, Vincente Cordero \/ Industrialism Films presented another video for the TOS2020 single<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaborators include<\/u><\/strong><\/em>: Andy Rourke, Billy Duffy, Budgie, Evi Vine, Gary Numan, James Alexander Graham, Jay Aston, Julianne Regan, Kevin Haskins, Kirk Brandon, Lol Tolhurst, Martin Gore, Michael Aston, Michael Ciravolo, Midge Ure, Miles Hunt, Rachel Goswell, Richard Fortus, Robin Finck, Steve Clarke, Tim Palmer, Trentem\u00f8ller<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background from Wayne Hussey<\/em><\/strong>: <\/em>\u201cWhen Covid-19 hit I started receiving messages asking \u2018why don\u2019t you re-issue Tower Of Strength for the front line workers?\u2019 The song had apparently been adopted as an anthem by some NHS workers, and it got me thinking that I would like to contribute something to the greater cause at this unprecedented time and the only thing I could really contribute is music. So in conjunction with my good friend Michael Ciravolo, I came up with the idea of recording a new version of Tower Of Strength for charity by enlisting the help of musician friends and acquaintances.\u201d
