"EVERBODY HURTS" FOR HAITI



Today marks the release of the first single dedicated to raising funds to aid the people of Haiti, whose island was devastated by an earthquake two weeks ago.

The song, a moving remake of REM's "Everybody Hurts," is available from today and features some of the music world's biggest talents.

Music mogul Simon Cowell helped to secure 21 of pop's biggest stars to take part in the recording.

Opening with vocals from X Factor winner Leona Lewis, the single also includes a reunion between Robbie Williams and ex-Take That bandmates Gary Barlow and Mark Owen.

Stars such as Rod Stewart, Mariah Carey, Cheryl Cole, Jon Bon Jovi, Michael Buble, Kylie Minogue, Susan Boyle and Westlife have also lent their time to the single.

The track will be available starting Sunday, February 7 at hmv.com, play.com, or amazon.co.uk - with all the proceeds split between the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) and the Sun newspaper's Helping Haiti campaign.
