It's a collaboration we never imagined would happen ... but Prince Harry joined forces with rock star Jon Bon Jovi and the duo have just released their new song!

Back in February, the Duke of Sussex — who recently decided to step down as a senior member of the royal family — joined Bon Jovi at Abbey Road Studios in London to record the 58-year-old singer's single 'Unbroken' with the Invictus Games Choir.

And the result is a truly powerful tribute to veterans.

The release of the song comes just days after Harry announced that this year's Invictus Games will be postponed due to the current coronavirus pandemic.

"This was an incredibly difficult decision for all of us to have to make," he told fans.

Testing, testing🎙… • Recorded inside Abbey Road Studios, home to The Beatles and other music legends, The Duke of Sussex joins Jon Bon Jovi and the Invictus Games Choir for a special live session in aid of the Invictus Games Foundation. The song being played, called ‘Unbroken’, was created by Jon Bon Jovi to shine a spotlight on those veterans living with Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI), to honour their service and acknowledge the strength of the Armed Forces community. The Duke and JBJ are both strong supporters of the military community, with The Duke founding the Invictus Games in 2014. The Invictus Games Choir, made up of wounded, injured and sick veterans and serving personnel from all services and different ranks of the UK Armed Forces, have come together to use the power of music to aid their recovery. Although The Duke was unable to sing, leaving the vocals to the professionals, the special single that was recorded in Studio 2 where The Beatles recorded 11 out of their 13 albums, and will be released in March in support of the @WeAreInvictusGames.

"And I'm so grateful for everybody that’s worked so hard over the past couple of weeks to try to find any alternative to try and carry on these Games in a different way - in a safe way.

"But this decision was the most sensible and the safest option for all of you, for your families and everybody else involved in these Games."

The recording session was one of the last engagements Harry attended as a senior working royal.
