• Elton John has released a new single in support of his AIDS Foundation together with Years & Years, May 14, Friday.

  The title of the new track is ‘It’s a sin,’ released via EMI Records. It came from the idea of the spectacular performance of the song during 2021 BRIT Awards.

  “A significant and timely cultural moment which will undoubtedly shine a spotlight on the AIDS epidemic during the 80s and the ongoing epidemic in 2021, the collaboration and performance was inspired by the Russell T Davies TV series ‘It’s a Sin’. The series profoundly touched over 18 million viewers across Britain – and brought the fight against HIV/AIDS back into the public conversation at a crucial time in the battle to eradicate the virus.” EMI said in a press release.

  Founded in 1992, the Elton John AIDS Foundation is one of the leading independent AIDS organizations in the world. The Foundation’s mission is an end to the AIDS epidemic. With the mobilization of their network of generous supporters and partners, they fund local experts across four continents to challenge discrimination, prevent infections and provide treatment as well as influencing governments to end AIDS.
