Adele and Miley Cyrus are among a collection of artists who will cover Bob Dylan classics for charity.
The pair will join Ke$ha and Sting among many others for an album of Dylan's hits titled Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honouring 50 Years of Amnesty International.
Profits made from the compilation will be donated to the human rights organisation to help fund their global efforts.
A representative for the group noted that the stars' efforts will help support "life saving work to protect human rights around the world... and to inspire [fans] to stand up for justice, freedom, and human rights".
The album is expected to be released early next year and the Dylan tracks that will be covered have yet to be confirmed.
Cyrus's cover of Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' was recently voted the worst cover song ever in a poll compiled by Rolling Stone.
Meanwhile, Adele previously stated that she "saved" Dylan with the royalties he has earned from her cover of 'Make You Feel My Love'.
