Bono in Band Aid 3

[Ellay]

What do you guys think about the rumours that Bono will be doing Band Aid 3

It's not going to top the first one surely!?, but seeing as it's for charity is it worth it?

 

[Bono's Tart]

Yes he 's singing his original lines!

Its being recorded on the 14th November with a documentary to follow on the 28th.
Not sure if B will be there to record on the day though maybe he's already done his?

Here is a series of articles about the :new" and the old Band Aid which you might find interesting:

I especially like the one about Midge Ure and his return to Ethiopia this year.

I hope this project is even MORE SUCCESSFUL than the first one - for Africa's sake.

One of my colleagues was talking to Midge Ure about a week before Band Aid 3 was announced, and I got him to ask midge if there was going to be a band aid 3 which he DENIED..

Im taking everything he says with a pinch of salt from now on.

Gonna be released on 29/11 as a single

 

[Axver]

Yes he 's singing his original lines!

That'd be awesome, but if that's the case, I'm VERY surprised that I haven't seen it mentioned in any media reports. Have I missed something?

Ive read a couple of articles in the papers, and on the net, that its coming out on 29/11. Artists include:- Robbie Williams, Keane, Snow Patrol, Sugababes, The Darkness, Paul McCartney on Bass, Bloke from Supergrass on drums, Coldplay and Bono singing his original line, because, "No-one else could do it justice" (Midge Ure)
