Keith Urban, Dierks Bentley and Little Big Town to Perform Cover of David Bowie’s ‘Heroes’

Keith Urban, Dierks Bentley and Little Big Town will be teaming up to perform a cover of the song, “Heroes,” in honor of the late David Bowie at the 2016 ACM Honors.

Not only will the country artists be coming together to sing a classic by the iconic musician in ode to his passing earlier this year, but the performance will also be filmed to play during the Stand Up to Cancer special for television on September 9. According to Billboard, the special performance will give attendees to the awards show a sneak preview of the song before hitting the air next week.

The collaboration between all of the artists will be meaningful beyond the tribute to Bowie because each of them have had a personal connection to cancer. Urban lost his father to the disease last year and Jimi Westbrook of LBT lost his sister this past November.

Also performing at the 2016 ACM Honors are artists such as Jason Aldean, Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Bryan, Alicia Keys, Miranda Lambert, Chris Young and The Band Perry. The show will be hosted at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and will be taped to air on CBS on September 9 at 9 p.m., following the Stand Up to Cancer broadcast.

The Stand Up to Cancer broadcast, which will feature the performance by Bentley, Urban and Little Big Town, will air on various cable and basic networks on September 9.
