Music Legend Sir Roger Daltrey of The Who has joined other famous faces Alice Cooper, Pete Townshend, and Sir Richard Branson in contributing to the fight against Parkinson's disorder with his support of charity album Think Loud 4 Parkinson's, a project raising funds and awareness around the disease.


Andy Simons, Director of Fundraising and Marketing at Cure Parkinson's said: "Wow, what a coup to have Roger Daltrey involved in this. Ian Grant and the Think Loud team are pulling out all the stops to raise funding to find a cure for Parkinson's! And the Blue Water Giants are generously donating all the income from their single. Thank you so so much, from all of us, and on behalf of the 11.8 million people hoping for a cure."


Alongside Sir Roger Daltrey's contribution, "Superband" Blue Water Giants, whose consultant, Ian Grant, has Parkinson's himself, have announced their single 'Dangerously in Love' in support of Cure Parkinson's, releasing on 29th April. Helmed by Josh Philips, known for his work in Procol Harum, has collaborated with artists ranging from Big Country to Pete Townshend. The band also features Neil Taylor, known for his work as a guitarist with Tears For Fears and Robbie Williams, and Mel Gaynor, the longtime drummer of Simple Minds, who has performed with acts like Elton John and Lou Reed.


Blue Water Giants are known for their high-energy live sets and recently played at the Isle of Wight Festival. 'Dangerously In Love' is a three-track single and features two bonus tracks 'Dangerously In Love (instrumental)' and a cover of Procol Harum's rumbustious track, 'Drunk Again'.


Funds raised by the project go toward the UK charity Cure Parkinson's. The project caught the eye of the late Ozzy Osbourne last year, who subsequently chose Cure Parkinson's as one of three charity sponsors for Black Sabbath's farewell show at Villa Park last summer.
