While, Beyonce first covered the anthem in 2008 during Barack Obama’s campaign, the superstar never released the patriotic tribute. With the recent events the country has been going through and some renewed patriotism from the demise of Osama Bin Laden, Bey has chosen to release the studio recorded version as a charity single, with all proceeds to benefit the New York Police and Fire Widows and Children Fund.
CNN premiered it last night on The Piers Morgan show, along with this video collage. The single is available on iTunes Now!
