The Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust Choir are to perform live at the Brit Awards in Greenwich alongside two world-renowned superstars next month.
with the help of the much-loved choir, Rag'n'Bone Man and P!nk will be performing a duet in front of a live audience which will be made up of other global performers, and thousands of key workers.
The O2 Arena in Greenwich will host the Brit Awards 2021in early May as part of a Government-approved trial of indoor events without social distancing.
Soulful superstar singer Rag'n'Bone Man invited the group, who famously topped the charts with a charity Christmas single in 2013, to join the performance.

So the local trust's amazing choir will be offering their sweet harmonies and a lush vocal backdrop to the live celebrity duet's recent collaboration 'Anywhere Away From Here'.
Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust said the moment will be the "emotional high-point" of the ceremony.
The BRIT Awards 2021 with Mastercard is already a huge date in the live entertainment calendar – and will be the first major indoor music event to welcome back a live audience.
Around 2,500 tickets to the O2 arena soirée being gifted to frontline NHS heroes and their guests via a ballot.
Choir leader and Children’s Physiotherapist Caroline Smith said: “We’re so excited to be a part of music history, and truly privileged to be able to perform for our NHS family and all the key worker heroes.”

“We hope this very special version of ‘Anywhere Away From Here’ acts as a tribute to all the superstars at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust and our NHS colleagues across the whole UK, who’ve done such extraordinary work keeping the country safe.
“Thanks so much to Rag’n’Bone Man too for inviting us – we can’t wait for the big night!”
Rag’n’Bone Man said: “Having people attend this special evening makes me really excited for touring to come! I’m grateful that P!nk is able to join from across the pond, to my band as ever and the NHS Choir are sounding amazing!”

This performance comes hot on the heels of a big end to 2020 for the Choir, which saw them collaborate with Justin Bieber and perform at Windsor Castle for The Queen’s Christmas Broadcast.
All their rehearsals and performances are done in their own time, fitting around the vital work they do for our NHS.
This year’s BRIT Awards will take place on Tuesday 11th May at The O2 arena, exclusively broadcast on ITV and ITV Hub and hosted by award winning comedian and actor Jack Whitehall.
Nominations were unveiled last month with Celeste, Dua Lipa, Joel Corry and Young T & Bugsey joining Arlo Parks in receiving three nominations each, and Jessie Ware, J Hus, Bicep, AJ Tracey up for two awards as with Headie One.
