Stu's song for Sophie
A song dedicated to an eight-year-old Shrewsbury girl battling leukaemia could be the next X-Factor hit.
EXCLUSIVE - Check out our video.
Shropshire-based doorman Stu Goldcrusher has written a track dedicated to Sophie Foxley, of Bicton Heath. It is called 'Sophie's Diary' after the blog Sophie writes on the internet each night.
The part-time strongman was planning to serenade X-Factor judge Sharon Osborne during auditions with a remake of Hot Chocolate's "It Started With A Kiss."
But now he has decided to dedicate a new song to Sophie and will try his luck on the ITV talent show.
Stu has already collected £2,000 from clubbers while working at Liquid & Diva in Shrewsbury.
He said: "Anyone who wants to buy a copy of 'Sophie's Diary' can order it from my website at www.goldcrusher.com for £4.50. The money will go straight to Sophie."
Sophie's mum Jane Foxley, of Bicton Heath, Shrewsbury, said: "He has a heart of gold. He says he's taking it on X-Factor. He has raised a lot of money for a lot of charities and also raised money for the Rainbow Ward at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, where Sophie has a lot of her treatment.
Goldcrusher's song for Sophie:
I heard the story on the Monday evening news
A lovely little girl with not much time to lose
She's only eight years old, it just doesn't seem fair
The future's certain, Sophie, we all want you there.
On Tuesday I could not get you out of my mind
A family's love can shield you when life isn't kind
Like many others I could not sit idly by
But actions better than to stay at home and sigh.
It's Wednesday and Goldcrusher is looking out for you
He'll pull a truck or bus and raise some money too.
Let's face the future with true laughter and a smile
But children show us and they do it all the while.
