Richard Hughes of Keane is to visit a US death row prisoner.
A member of indie favourites Keane will visit an inmate on death row in the US, it has been revealed.
Richard Hughes, the band's drummer, is to travel to Georgia as part of a campaign to tackle a perceived miscarriage of justice.
Prisoner Troy Davis was jailed in 1991 for the killing of police officer Mark Allen MacPhail in 1989, but campaigners claim that no physical evidence or murder weapon link him to the incident.
Commenting on the case, Hughes said: "Troy is very likely innocent, yet he has been on the brink of execution, with only last minute reprieves keeping him alive. He continues to fight for the chance to prove his innocence."
He added that he is opposed to the death penalty and the chance that Davis could be innocent could show why it is not a good instrument of justice.
Earlier this week, the Sun claimed that The Enemy's Tom Clarke launched an unprovoked attack on Keane, after he said a friend of his made a restaurant manager turn one of their songs off after it made him sick.
