Haiti Earthquake Charity Single

8th Feb 2010 11:37am

I've just been checking out the latest news on the BBC News website and came across the "video premiere" for the Haiti earthquake charity single and to be honest, I found it quite good and have been suprised at how quick it's became available - considering the earthquake (measuring 7.0rs) happened only a few weeks ago (16th January 2010).

The song is a cover of REM's 1992 single, Everybody Hurts and features Susan Boyle, Leona Lewis, Mika, Rod Stewart, Alexandra Burke, James Blunt, Robbie Williams, Cheryl Cole, James Morrison, Aston (JLS) and a couple more...

One thing I have noticed though, which I thought was good - well especially of our Tax-robbing Government, is that they're not wanting the VAT from the single - so every penny goes to the Haiti earthquake fund.
