“Having cancer at a younger age presents unique challenges, including delayed diagnosis, reduced efficacy of treatment for young patients, and more difficulty in obtaining clinical trials,” a statement posted on Knopfler’s YouTube channel read.

The Beatles-like cover was created by British pop artist Sir Peter Blake, who is best known for designing the Live Aid concert poster, the Band-Aid album cover, and the cover for The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”

Knopfler released a statement saying, “More than anything, I just want to thank each and every one for this sterling response.” “I honestly didn’t know it would be this way. Guy and I realized pretty quickly that we needed to extend this piece in some way to accommodate everyone who participated.
