Every Brit who has ever drawn breath and emitted noise from their person in exchange for large sums of money has been recruited by Bob Geldof for Band Aid 30’s reprise of the 1984 charity single ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’ to aid in the fight against the Ebola epidemic.
The lineup includes Disclosure, Jessie Ware, Robert Plant, Bono, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Sam Smith, Queen drummer Roger Taylor, Ellie Goulding, Underworld, Sinead O’Connor, Bastille, Ed Sheeran, One Direction, Elbow, Rita Ora, Paloma Faith, Clean Bandit, Olly Murs, Seal, Jimmy Napes, Emile Sandé, Anélique Kidjo, Paloma Faith, and Fuse ODG.
You can donate to Band Aid 30 here. The single becomes available on iTunes tomorrow.
UPDATE: The video, which was originally ripped from tonight’s episode of the UK’s X-Factor, has been removed for copyright infringement reasons. We’ll update with a working video as soon as we can find one. Feel free to suggest a working link in the comments below.
