Other high profile participants include Khalid, Passion Pit's Michael Angelakos and Alice in Chains' William DuVall.
Logic has been a particular prominent voice on this issue, his song '1-800-273-8255' taking its name from the phone number pf the National Suicide Prevention Hotline.
PSAs, on air promos and other conversations promoting the campaign began running on Entercom radio stations from yesterday (September 5th). The event itself will air across all Entercom stations at 10am ET on September 10th.
