So far, confirmed artists include U2's Bono, Chris Martin of Coldplay, Emeli Sande, Underworld, Sinead O'Connor, Paloma Faith, Foals and Bastille, who have given up two arena dates to record their contribution.

Blimey....Never thought I'd see the day that the boys take part in a high profile charity single!

Ah, it's because Bob Geldof is producing. He and UW go way back. I imagine the contribution will be Karl participating in the vocals.

Does that count as a number 1 which it'll probably be?

Guess in a small way we'll finally get that U2 / Underworld collaboration.

Reports saying that it'll actually be a remix by UW. So it could be vocal from Karl on main track and a separate remix.

Looks like Underworld & Disclosure remixes due for release on 8 December 2014.

Single's out. Karl sings in the chorus, but no featured solo.

Underworld's remix will be on the CD on Dec. 8, as well as available digitally that day.

Was that really necessary? Singing in a charity single is usually the point in a career when you'd better re-evaluate your priorities...

Re: Underworld to perform on new Band Aid 30 single
 

And you know what Karl's priorities ought to be?
It's a charity single, relax.
Further, participation in these songs/events either signifies that an artist has a high profile and star power to sell records/ tickets, or they are poised to benefit from the exposure.
