Shane Lynch has had 21 hit singles in the UK Top 40, nine number one singles, sold more than 25 million records worldwide, and now he is leading the call for bikers to sign up for the Bike4Life Ride Out and Festival on April 30.

The Irish singer, who is also a professional drift driver and motorcycle enthusiast, will join former world superbike champion Carl Fogarty, motorcycle and truck racing legend, Steve Parrish and adventure motorcyclist and author, Nick Sanders, in leading 3,500 bikers on the annual 23 mile ride-out to RAF Cosford. The ride out will be held to raise funds for Midlands Air Ambulance.

Shane said: "I was delighted to be asked to support and lead the Bike4Life Ride Out to the festival alongside the other VIPs, as I am a huge admirer of the work of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.

"The Bike4Life Ride Out and Festival is a fantastic way for the biking community to come together, raise funds for the charity, and awareness of biker safety.

"As part of Boyzone we spent countless hours on the road up and down the motorways and today I enjoy racing cars and biking.

"In the event of a serious accident, it is comforting to know that we have such an incredible rapid lifesaving service that has paramedics and doctors on board saving lives by saving time. We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to the incredible lifesaving work of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.

"One day you or your family and friends may need to call upon an air ambulance to save a life. I am urging all bikers across the UK to please come and join us on the Bike 4 Life Ride Out and the Bike 4 Life Festival."
