is IS happening apparently.

30 years since the original, a third incarnation of Do They Know It's Christmas is to be released, this time funds will be donated to help fight the ebola virus.

Can it hope to eclipse the original? Or will it be a poor substitute like the 3rd version released in 2004? (lets not talk about the Stock Aitken & Waterman version please!)

According to some, these guys have already been signed up to do it.

Which should ensure it reaches the desired sales figures however we'll have to wait to see if it can proudly stand up against the awesomeness that is the orginal.

BA1 was a spontaneous response by Bob, Midge and a host of well-known names to do something positive in the face of the devastating famine in Ethiopia, etc. Somehow this feels like an opportunity for current popsters to raise their profiles..... I doubt that I'll be buying it, in any case.

......especially Bono!
Me :-)
I doubt any of the money raised will reach the people that need it.
Has Bono claimed " and tonight, thank God it's them instead of you?"
