A song written by former Beatle Paul McCartney in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks is set to be released as a charity single, his spokesman said on Friday.
"Freedom" will come out just a week after his first charity single "From a Lover to a Friend" hit the shops to raise funds for New York's emergency workers. It is being rush-released due to popular demand, said publicist Geoff Baker.
"Freedom" was first performed at the Concert for New York at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 20. Afterward, the singer was besieged with requests from fans wanting to buy the single, Baker said. It will be released in Britain next week and in the United States soon after that.
