To coincide with Road 2 Rockstock 2, Wyatt has teamed up with a host of stars to release a charity single - a new version of John Farnham's classic track "You're The Voice". Wyatt describes more about the background to the project in the associated blog here. The single is a collaboration under the name The Planet Rock All Stars and features members of Def Leppard, Blackberry Smoke, Black Stone Cherry, The Cadillac Three, The Temperance Movement, Wayward Sons, The Darkness, Tyler Bryant, Ricky Warwick, Dan Reed, Doug Aldrich, Chad Kroeger, Mollie Marriott, Whitfield Crane, Todd Kearns ... and others.

“You’re The Voice” will be released digitally on Friday 6th December. It will be linked to the UK singles chart and the aim is to get a Top 40 hit. There will be a VERY limited edition CD single available with a couple of alternative versions of the song.

Wyatt Completes His 1,100 Mile Charity Bike Ride Supporting CALM #RoadtoRockstock

Wyatt's route has taken in 10 major cities across the UK - London, Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham - before arriving for Day 1 of Rockstock Festival on 2 December 2016.

Why? Because suicide is the biggest killer of men aged under 45 in the UK and The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) are trying to change that. Wyatt has already raised £60,000 and you can still donate by clicking on the Just Giving button. By donating to CALM you can make a significant difference.

The worst radio competition winner in history?

This is quite possibly the most underwhelmed competition winner ever ... The prize is a money can’t buy offer of a flight to Paris, piloted by Bruce Dickinson, to hear the new Iron Maiden album at an event hosted by Bruce and including an overnight stay in Paris. A dream prize for any rock fan ... but not this bloke. Listen to the unusual telephone conversation between Wyatt and the competition winner.
