James Newman - the brother of John Newman - is behind the UK's Eurovision 2020 entry "My Last Breath".

BBC Radio 1 and 2 premiered James Newman's Eurovision Song Contest 2020 entry this morning.

Newman's 2020 UK entry "My Last Breath" lands with a video directed by Charlie Lightening (Liam Gallagher, Jamiroquai) that stars Dutch athlete Wim Hoff.

James Newman (who is the brother of singer/songwriter John Newman) says of his Eurovision 2020 entry for the UK, "It’s such an honour to be representing the United Kingdom this year at Eurovision - I still can’t quite believe it! I’m also so proud to be taking "My Last Breath" as the song. I wrote it with some of my best friends, who are amazingly talented songwriters in their own right. I knew it was 'the one' after first recording it. I just loved the simplicity and universal message of the song."

The 65th Eurovision Song Contest takes place in Rotterdam, The Netherlands on 16 May, and will be broadcast live on BBC One.
