Chic and Nile Rodgers debut new single

Chic have premiered their comeback track 'I'll Be There'.

The song, which is the band's first single in 23 years, was premiered today (March 20) in conjunction with the solar eclipse.

The tune is a tribute to former Chic man Bernard Edwards, who died in 1996.

Guitarist Nile Rodgers recently told Digital Spy about the track's theme:

"When I found my partner Bernard's body in the room, I said, 'Now I can be there for you in death the way you were there for me in life'."

Chic meanwhile are due to release their new album 'It's About Time' later this year.
