Published: Saturday 26th Nov 2022 by Sam

Greatness doesn’t die, it lives on and inspires. Case in point, the inimitable Jimi Hendrix. 

The superstar, who died in 1970 aged just 27, would have turned 80 this week.

To commemorate the occasion and his ever-enduring legacy, Pop star Zayn was enlisted to put his unique spin on the icon’s song ‘Angel.’

Revealing that it was a special request to honor the icon, the former One Direction singer  said:

Being asked to collaborate to celebrate Jimi Hendrix 80th birthday was such an unexpected and huge honour.  I have so much respect and admiration for Jimi, his music and fans. ‘Angel’ is out now – hope you love the track as much as I do. Happy 80th Jimi.”
