London – you drums the band back together: For the fourth time under the name Band Aid to some of the biggest pop stars of present land a Christmas hit for a good cause. Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, the 1984 song “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” had originally written on the occasion of the famine in Ethiopia, are once again the organizers
At a press conference in London Geldof and Ure revealed on Monday afternoon “the worst kept secret in the world”. It will in 2014 a new version of “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” be sung by the Band Aid 30. The proceeds will support the fight against the disease Ebola, especially in West Africa.
The UN had contacted him three weeks ago, so Geldof, with a request for assistance. Even the United Nations had publicly complained that the aid against the epidemic was under-funded. Bob Geldof said, although it was unpleasant to him to call people he does not know. A somewhat surprising statement of one whose charity work in recent years often outshone his job as a musician at the Boomtown Rats.
will be as a singer with this, according to British media Adele, Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding , Emeli Sande, Jessie Ware, Olly Murs, Paloma Faith, Sam Smith and the groups Bastille and One Direction. The British musicians will sing their lines in London on Saturday.
In the original version, in 1984 some were represented the top stars of the era, including Boy George, George Michael and Bono of U2. The latter is again involved, according to Geldof and 2014. Chris Martin, who was involved in the 2004 edition, is with his band Coldplay straight through the United States and will take up his post in Los Angeles. To the US dates will take care of the star producer Quincy Jones. Not promised
Still, David Bowie, had asked the Geldof as 1984 to speak the opening words to the video clip. These stand for the artist Tracey Emin already laid, which will take over the cover design.
On Monday, November 17, the song will be available for download – with some changes of text that matches the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
