VELVET REVOLVER, OZZY, STEVEN TYLER Collaboration To Appear On Benefit Compilation

October 18, 2005

An all-star cover of ERIC CLAPTON's "Tears in Heaven", originally organized by Sharon Osbourne in the wake of the Asian tsunami last year, featuring music by VELVET REVOLVER and vocal contributions from Ozzy and Kelly Osbourne, and AEROSMITH's Steven Tyler, among others, will be included on a double-disc compilation to benefit victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. "Hurricane Relief: Come Together Now" is expected in mid-November. Proceeds have been earmarked for the American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity and the MusiCares Hurricane Relief Fund.

"Tears in Heaven" will be available beginning today (Oct. 18) exclusively from the iTunes Music Store, with proceeds to benefit Save the Children. Money from international purchases will be given to tsunami relief organizations.
