Scott Helman Creating Mural, Releasing Song About Climate Crisis

By Aaron Brophy

Toronto pop singer Scott Helman has created a wall mural installation and is releasing a song to raise awareness about the ongoing climate crisis.


The Bungalow and PDA singer launched the mural Nov. 21 in Toronto along with artist Kayla Buium (Milkbox). The painting will include messages of concern about the climate crisis collected from Helman supporters in recent weeks as part of the Evergreen Project.

"For the past few weeks, an anonymous form on my website has been collecting testimonies about the climate crisis," Helman said in a statement.

"We’ve received over 600 entries and have compiled them into a document entitled The Evergreen Manuscript."

Helman and Buium will illustrate these testimonies on the mural. Members of the public who attend to watch the creation of the mural will have the opportunity to add their own message.

William Shatner To Go Where He’s Never Gone Before on Heavy Metal Album Featuring Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden Covers

The 94-year-old TV icon teased that the untitled LP will feature 35 "metal virtuosos."

Forget about second acts in American life, TV legend William Shatner is up to his fourth, maybe 10th act at this point. The 94-year-old actor best known for playing the irascible James T. Kirk on the original Star Trek series and movies, as well as police sergeant T.J. Hooker in the 1980s is boldly going where even he hasn’t gone before.

In an Instagram post on Thursday (Feb. 19), the mutli-hyphenate performer who made his musical debut in 1968 with the beyond bizarre The Transformed Man LP featuring his florid readings of The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and Elton John’s “Rocket Man,” announced that he’s prepping his first heavy metal album at an age where metal typically goes into your body rather than comes out.
