Eric Church supports Hurricane Helene victims by donating royalties from new song: 'They’re in need'

On Friday, Eric Church shared that he will be transferring all the publishing royalties for his new song, "Darkest Hour," to the victims of Hurricane Helene. 

"From Western North Carolina, East Tennessee, Upstate South Carolina, parts of Georgia and even Florida which took a direct hit, there are so many places that were impacted," Church stated in the release. "Specifically in the area that I'm from, the mountains of Western North Carolina were devastated. There are places that are just biblically gone. These are our family members, they're our friends, they're our neighbors – and they're in dire need of help." Christina Dugan Ramirez is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital. 

"I've been in the studio for a while, trying some different things and exploring creativity," he continued. "I had this song that I'd written, and the line that struck me in light of the recent devastation was ‘I'll come running,’ because there are a lot of people out there right now who are in their darkest hour, and they need people to come running."
