Status Quo have set a September 27th release date for their new single that aims to raise money to support soldiers.<\/p>\n

The band have recorded a reworked version of their hit In the Army Now and all profits from sales of the single are to be donated to Help For Heroes and the British Forces Foundation.<\/p>\n

Prince Charles has backed the move by the band, stating: "I am so delighted that Status Quo have chosen to re-release this single in aid of these very worthwhile causes."<\/p>\n

He added both he and the Duchess of Cornwall would like to express their "warmest gratitude" to the band for supporting the charities.<\/p>\n

Status Quo have also shot a video for the new single, which was filmed at the Kiwi Barracks of the 4-Rifles regiment and the National Tank Museum.<\/p>\n

Further money is to be raised for Help For Heroes at a special charity gig taking place at Twickenham Stadium on September 12th.<\/p>\n

Recently added to the bill were Enrique Iglesias, Katherine Jenkins and the Wanted.<\/p>\n
