Justin Bieber has teamed up with the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS choir to record a Christmas single, a remix of the star's single Holy, which reached number seven in October. The charity collaboration comes five years after the two acts were locked in a battle for the Christmas number one. Bieber said, ‘I was honoured to meet everyone from the choir and I'm really happy that they got their number one.’ Their new charity single is aiming for Christmas number one, with proceeds to be split between NHS Charities Together, which represents more than 230 NHS charities, and the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust Charity. An immunisation clinical coordinator said, ‘The message that holding someone is such a special thing that it's almost a holy experience is so resonant with current difficulties and personal challenges.’

Christian pop star Justin Bieber spoke powerfully of God’s love to 50,000 people at the One Love Manchester concert on 4 June. The crowds included thousands who had been at the Manchester Arena at the time of the bomb two weeks earlier, and the concert paid tribute to the 22 who died, the injured, the emergency services and all who responded. Bieber sang his hit song and got the crowd to chant 'love'. Then he declared, 'I'm not going to let go of hope. I'm not going to let go of love. I'm not going to let go of God. Put your hand up if you're not going to let go. God is good in the midst of the darkness. God is good in the midst of the evil. God is in the midst, no matter what's happening in the world. God is in the midst and He loves you and He's here for you.'
