“We wanted this video to tell Jay’s story and the ones of all cancer survivors,” explained the band. “We want to show how strong people can be when facing adversity and hardship and how resilient the human mind and body can be. We wanted to relay a message of hope, survival and courage.”

Delta, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2003, jumped at the chance to support the music video.

“It was a pleasure to be invited to support Simple Plan in their crusade to make a difference in the fight against cancer,” she said.

You can see the video at this website – scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the version with Delta’s bit. But don’t just watch it. Proceeds from all iTunes downloads of the single will be distributed to local cancer charities in the country of the download, helping the world to get closer to eradicating this deadly disease.

The lads from Simple Plan are hot stuff right now. Their single “When I’m Gone” is all over radio, and their new self-titled album hits stores today. The Canadian pop-punksters will head to Australia for a promo tour next month to celebrate its release.

Simple Plan have got one of those instantly recognisable sounds, but apparently we can expect something different this time around.

“I think we all felt we needed to do something that would be a little more daring and stretch the envelope of who we are,” explained frontman Pierre Bouvier. “We were just trying to make a record that will leave a little more of a mark.”

Drummer Chuck Comeau adds that “there was sort of a realization we needed to shake things up and really take chances and just go for it. To do something that was still us but would challenge ourselves”.

Simple Plan will be in Australia for just five days (March 10-14), but Warner Music promises there will be opportunities for fans to catch up with the band. If you love Simple Plan, I suggest checking the Warner Music website regularly to see when you can see, hear, and watch the guys in Oz.
