A mega-group of A-list names have been drafted in by Simon Cowell to record a cover of the Simon & Garfunkel classic Bridge over Troubled Water. 

The single is to raise money for Grenfell Tower Victims in London. 

Simon confirmed to The Sun that One Direction star Liam Payne, The Who, Emile Sande, Louisa Johnson, Craig David, James Arthur, plus London rappers Skepta and Stormzy are all to feature. 

The single is due to be released on Monday after Simon confirmed the news earlier this week.

Speaking to The Sun, Cowell commented that "Until that last note has been finished, we will not be off the phone … We started 24 hours ago and already we’re getting calls coming in, mainly from Brits."

So far 30 people have been confirmed dead from the Grenfell Tower Fire, with at least 70 being reported missing.
