JASON ALDEAN RELEASES “I WON’T BACK DOWN” PERFORMANCE
FROM SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE TO DIGITAL RETAILERS AND STREAMING PARTNERS
TO RAISE FUNDS FOR LAS VEGAS VICTIMS
All Proceeds From Streaming and Song Purchases will Benefit the Direct Impact Fund
Jason Aldean’s message of unity and powerful cover of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Town” on Saturday Night Live from Oct. 7 is available today across many digital retailers and streaming services HERE and will continue to rollout with additional partners over the next few days. All proceeds raised will go towards the Direct Impact Fund to benefit victims of the Las Vegas shooting.
“This week, we witnessed one of the worst tragedies in American history,” said Aldean during his cold open of Saturday Night Live on Oct. 7. “Like everyone, I’m struggling to understand what happened that night and how to pick up the pieces and start to heal. So many people are hurting. There are children, parents, brothers, sisters, friends — they’re all part of our family. So I want to say to them: We hurt for you and we hurt with you. But you can be sure we’re going to walk through these tough times together, every step of the way, because when America is at its best, our bond and our spirit, it’s unbreakable.”
