Blood Diamonds

SIMPLE MINDS - BLOOD DIAMONDS
RELEASE DATE SEPTEMBER 16th

Blood Diamonds is the new single from Simple Minds. The follow up to the airplay hit Broken Glass Park, Blood Diamonds is the other brand new track that was specially recorded for the Top 20 Celebrate: Greatest Hits + album. After a sold-out UK tour in the spring, Simple Minds have announced a further four UK arena shows for November: 27th Glasgow Hydro Arena, 28th Manchester MENA, 29th Birmingham NIA and 30th London O2 Arena. The band will also be opening the R2 '2-Day' festival in Hyde Park on September 8th. Simple Minds are currently recording their new studio album for release in the first half of 2014, but for now, Blood Diamonds is an excellent new track to play on-air.
