Do your bit for Breast Cancer and Mr Frank Turner, because all it takes is 79p for a good cause... Long Live The Queen' is a heartfelt, poignant story of a close friend of Franks passing away from breast cancer. Though a hard subject, Frank has written the song as a way of celebrating his friend's life and the legacy she has left behind. Lexi tirelessly campaigned and fundraised for breast cancer charities and it's with this inspiration that Frank and Xtra Mile Recordings will be donating proceeds from the sale of the single to the Breast Cancer Campaign charity. The single is released on the 20th October 2008 so get yourself over to Itunes / 7 digital or whatever digital download service you prefer. Remember to do it only from the 20th and make sure you download the single rather than the album track or it wont go to charity or towards the chart! All your help is much appreciated and for a good cause. Plus it would be hilarious to get Frank in amongst Duffy, Winehouse and Rihanna.
