Lighthouse Family want to help out the situation in Ukraine (Picture: PA)

Lighthouse Family have stepped in to offer their help in sorting out the crisis in Ukraine.

The band, best known for the track Lifted, suggested a novel way of de-escalating tensions – their own brand of easy listening music.

They tweeted: ‘We think we need to send Vladimir Putin some Lighthouse Family CDs so he can chill the f*** out.’

One fan rio_ben then recommended their track Let It All Change on Twitter as the suggestion won praise – and sarcasm.


AutismMumEire said: ‘Brilliant idea lol too many are getting high on #Power & #Control #Nottomentiondrugs’

While Kenny_Leckie remarked: ‘The official Lighthouse Family twitter. Dealing with international relations since 1997.’



But TheTortorian wasn’t so keen and quipped: ‘No Lighthouse Family, your proposed punishment of Putin is far too harsh.’

Lighthouse Family are made up of vocalist Tunde Baiyewu and keyboardist Paul Tucker.

Their debut album Ocean Drive, released in 1995, sold more than 1.8 million copies in the UK alone.

Russian forces are currently occupying Crimea in Ukraine, after a revolution overthrew pro-Moscow president Viktor Yanukovych in Kiev.
