Released as a single two months after the film's premiere, it became a worldwide hit, reaching the Top 10 in several countries. In 1996 and with the consent of Dylan, Scottish musician Ted Christopher wrote a new verse for "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" in memory of the schoolchildren and teacher killed in the Dunblane school massacre. This has been, according to some sources, one of the few times Dylan has officially authorized anybody to add or change the lyrics to one of his songs. This version of the song, featuring children from the village singing the chorus with the guitarist and producer of Dylan's album Infidels (1983), Mark Knopfler, was released on December 9 in the United Kingdom and reached No. 1 on the UK and Scottish Singles Charts, as well as No. 6 in Iceland and Ireland.

It is the first song taken from his debut solo album Dive In. It was released on 29 July 2002 and reached number 1 in the UK Singles Chart for two weeks.[1] The song has sold 325,000 copies in the UK as stated by the Official UK Charts Company. It also peaked at Number 13 in the Irish Charts. After turning down an offer of a multimillion-dollar record deal by Pop Idol judge Simon Cowell to sign with his record label, Darius began work on his solo album on which "Colourblind" would be included. Darius had been working on the song pre-Pop Idol and was originally ignored by Cowell, however, after meeting with Pete Glenister and Deni Lew as well as Steve Lillywhite, the song began to be considered as a possible single.
