Susan Boyle, Take That team up for Haiti charity single

London, January 23 (ANI): Susan Boyle and Take That are set to lend their voices to a Helping Haiti single to help victims struck by the massive earthquake that shook the Caribbean region.
The Britain’s Got Talent star and the popular band will join other artists including Rod Stewart, Cheryl Cole, Leona Lewis and Westlife to record REM’s Everybody Hurts to help raise funds for those hit by the 7.0-magnitude tremor on January 12.
“The Haiti earthquake has caused devastation and suffering that most of us will never experience nor could imagine. I feel privileged to be a part of such a wonderful project that will raise money to help the country,” The Sun quoted Susan as saying.
The idea of recording the song was said to be the brainchild of music mogul Simon Cowell, who apparently pulled his world-class contacts to put together the line-up.
Singer Michael Stipe said: “How could we not say yes to this appeal? We’re honoured to play even a small role in trying to help.”
He added: “Any time anyone does something good, or tries to do something positive, the world shifts ever so slightly towards love and towards goodness.” (ANI)
