Cher supports campaign to find Corrie
Singer spreads the word about missing Dunfermline airman
Pop superstar Cher has boosted the search for missing Fife airman Corrie McKeague.
The multi-award-winning singer and actress, who has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, retweeted a picture of the serviceman after a supporter of the Find Corrie campaign contacted her on social media.
Tweeting to Cher, Wes Vincent explained that Corrie had been missing for 12 months and asked her to spread the word to her 3.45 million Twitter followers.
The move was welcomed by Corrie’s mother, Nicola Urquart. She said: “Thank you Cher for taking the time to retweet for my missing son Corrie.”
Corrie was 23 when he disappeared and his devastated family marked his 24th birthday at the weekend.
Sunday will be the first anniversary of him going missing after a night out in Bury St Edmunds and Ms Urquhart said the next few weeks would be the “toughest yet”.
This weekend, Corrie’s father Martin McKeague and his wife Trisha will be helping police in their search for potential new witnesses in Bury St Edmunds.
A police pod will be set up in the town centre, where the couple will join officers with the aim of jogging people’s memory about events 12 months ago.
The pod will be set up from 9pm on Friday to 5am on Saturday morning, and will be open during the day throughout the weekend.
