Glee castmembers have teamed up for a special holiday gift in honor of Naya Rivera, who died in 2020 at age 33.
A previously unreleased Rivera song, “Prayers For The Broken,” which she recorded in 2012, was released posthumously on Friday, and it was all thanks to her former co-stars, who received permission to finish the single.
The track was released for the annual Snixxmas Charity Fundraiser, which has been organized every year since Rivera died and benefits one of her favorite charities, Alexandria House.
“We hope that ‘Prayer For The Broken’ brings you the same comfort it has brought us over the years — a poignant reminder of Naya’s otherworldly talent and a heartfelt gift, allowing us to hear her once more through this inspiring message,” Alexandria House wrote.
