“Hi everyone. This is my first experience within the world of social media. I’ve never done any of this before. I don’t think I really ever felt any particular reason to until now,” he said.

“Now is the time to open up a dialogue as the threat of this invisible enemy has already caused immeasurable tragedies and enormous damage in people’s lives. People are ill and without care, people are getting sick and fighting for death. People are dying … many are unable to provide for families … some have lost their jobs … businesses … some, far too many, are living on the streets with no protection, no shelter and no option of self-isolating at all,” he went on to say.

He then revealed that he and Jeff Beck were working on an album, and he felt it was as good a time as any to release his cover of John Lennon‘s “Isolation,” saying it was “especially fitting for what’s happening right now.”
