The Soldiers reached number four in the UK album chart with their debut release Coming Home in October last year, selling 600,000 copies.

Sgt Scarlett, from Atlanta, and Sgt Basnight, from Georgia, who recently returned from front-line duties, flew over to accompany the three men when they perform at the Royal Albert Hall in London tonight as part of their Coming Home tour.

The two American Army personnel asked to sing alongside The Soldiers in a "personal show of solidarity" for fellow soldiers worldwide. The Soldiers comprise Gulf War veterans Sgt Maj Chilton and Sgt Maddocks, plus L/ Cpl Idzi who served in Iraq and Afghanistan as part of the 20th Armoured Brigade.

The five are due to record a new version of the song Coming Home today at the Metropolis Studios in west London to be released in the US later this year.
