Jon Bon Jovi and Prince Harry were at Abbey Road Studios today (February 28) for a special recording session.
In an appearance on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky earlier this week, Bon Jovi said how he reached out to Prince Harry with “Unbroken,” one of Bon Jovi’s songs off their new album Bon Jovi 2020, as a gift to the Invictus Games, a Paralympics-like event created by Prince Harry where wounded and injured members of the armed services take part in various sporting events. Prince Harry got on board with the idea, and today the song was re-recorded at the legendary studios, with the royal sitting in on the recording session.
“He said yes and stuck now to it, so we’re doing it…I’m gonna hand him [Harry] a tambourine and see what he’s got going,” said Bon Jovi. The session will also feature the Invictus Games’ choir, and the track will act as a charity single raising funds for the Invictus Games themselves.
Photos from the recording session can be viewed below.
