In November 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, Clapton and Van Morrison collaborated on an anti-mask, anti-lockdown single called "Stand and Deliver" whose profits from sales will be donated to Morrison's "Lockdown Financial Hardship Fund".Morrison's stance on this has been described by Northern Ireland Health Minister Robin Swann as "a smear on all those involved in the public health response" and giving "great comfort to the conspiracy theorists – the tin foil hat brigade who crusade against masks and vaccines and think this is all a huge global plot to remove freedoms".
