Pink Floyd are heading towards their first Top 10 single in the UK for 43 years.
The band's founding members David Gilmour and Nick Mason have reunited for new track Hey, Hey, Rise Up! which is currently tracking to debut at Number 5.
It would be the band's first UK Top 10 single since 1979, where they achieved their first and so far only Number 1 single - Another Brick In The Wall.
The song features a sample of Ukrainian band Boombox's member Andriy Khlyvnyuk. All proceeds will go towards the Ukrainian Humanitarian Effort.
In a press release, Pink Floyd - original members David Gilmour and Nick Mason are now joined by bassist Guy Pratt and keyboardist Nitin Sawhney - wrote the song very recently on March 30.
On the creation of the new song, Dave Gilmour said: "I hope it will receive wide support and publicity. We want to raise funds for humanitarian charities, and raise morale. We want express our support for Ukraine and in that way, show that most of the world thinks that it is totally wrong for a superpower to invade the independent democratic country that Ukraine has become."
First formed in 1965, Pink Floyd are often credited as one of the first British psychedelic rock groups, one of the most experimental and innovative bands the country has ever seen. They are perhaps best known for their landmark 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon.
The band have seven UK Top 40 hits, including one Number 1 single (1979's Another Brick In The Wall), and six UK Number 1 albums - their most recent being 2014's The Endless River, at the time their first chart-topper in 20 years.
