Jules Knight, the acclaimed English actor and singer known for his role as Dr Harry Tressler in the medical drama Holby City and as a founding member of the award-winning vocal group Blake, is set to release a heartfelt single dedicated to his late mother, on March 24th, just ahead of Mother's Day.
Jules lost his mother, Jane Kaye, to a rare form of cancer called sarcoma in July 2023, aged 76 years. The single is a poignant and loving tribute to her memory.
"She was a very good person," Jules said of his mother. "She was so kind and generous, always giving to charity and was a very active member of her village community. Up until January 2023 she had been in remarkably good health. We miss her every day, of course, but especially on Mother's Day, and this song is a tribute to her."
With his new single, he is hoping to raise funds and awareness for the charity Sarcoma UK in memory of his mother.
For those of you who don't know, Sarcoma UK is a national charity that funds vital research, offers support for anyone affected by sarcoma cancer and campaigns for better treatments.
