in may 2008, jet released a video clip on youtube paying tribute to the work of the late fred hollows and the fred hollows foundation. lead singer nic cester says he wanted to highlight that professor hollow's work to restore sight to the cataract blind in developing countries was ongoing 15 years after his death. "fred hollows was such a big figure in australia and he had a huge impact, but he passed away when there was still work to do," cester said in a statement. "this clip is a bit of a reminder, hopefully it encourages people to make a donation to keep fred's work going." the video tribute features jet's song "shine on" along with images compiled by the fred hollows foundation.
