Sam Smith and John Legend will record a special version of Sam’s song ‘Lay Me Down’ as the official single for Red Nose Day.

The original song is taken from Sam’s debut album ‘In the Lonely Hour’ and the new version is being re-released as a one-off single to raise money for Comic Relief.

The track is available from today to download on iTunes and the single is available to buy exclusively in Sainsbury’s.

Sam Smith said: “Lay Me Down holds a very special place in my heart, not only did I perform it at the Brits I’m now going to perform it live on the Red Nose Day show with the extremely talented John Legend which is so exciting. I recently visited a Comic Relief funded project in my home town which supports the young LGBT community in London, I’m extremely proud that my single will help raise money for projects like this and many others in the UK and across Africa.”

You can download the track via iTunes or Google play.
