På väg hem från den brittiska festivalen Bestival förra året kraschade en av bussarna som slussade publiken från festivalområdet till hamnen vid Isle of Wight. Femtio personer skadades och tre människor dog i olyckan. Michael Molloy, en artonåring från Liverpool, var en av de som tragiskt nog dog en alldelles för tidig död.
Nu ger Sunday Best, en systerorganisation till Bestival, ut hans singel Rise & Fall. Låten skrevs ett år innan olyckan och spelades in i juli 2012. Så här säger hans kvarlevande bror Joe Molloy:
”It was Michael’s ambition to have his music recognised by the wider world. He never fulfilled that ambition so we, his family, are fulfilling it for him. Michael can never come back and we will never cease to grieve for him. We think about him every hour of every day. But Michael’s passion for music and his talent was one of the qualities which defined him and we want the rest of the world, through his music, to understand and appreciate in a small way just what a special human being he was. The release of the single is both in memoriam and in celebration and we wish to thank Sunday Best and all of the people who have supported Michael over many years. They know who they are.”
