Band Aid 20: Multiple versions planned

The new version of Do They Know It's Christmas? by Band Aid 20 will be available to download in different mixes, according to The Sun.

Bob Geldof has reportedly stated that there will be different versions to cater for all tastes, such as a 'rock' mix, in which artists such as The Darkness' Justin Hawkins would feature more heavily, whereas a poppier version would favour Will Young and Rachel Stevens.

Bob Geldof and Midge Ure are pursuing this avenue in order to appeal to all areas of the market so that the most money can be raised for the cause as possible.

Geldof told The Independent: "I think this time we have 20 years of knowledge within pop music of what this thing is. There is a cultural and political reference."

The song was aired for the first time this morning on Chris Moyles' show on Radio One, will be available to download on 22nd November, and in hard copies from the 29th.
