'X Factor' to 'release Heroes track'

The X Factor finalists are to release a cover of David Bowie's 'Heroes' in aid of Help For Heroes, it has been revealed.

The track follows the release of cover versions of Mariah Carey's 'Hero' in 2008 and Michael Jackson's 'You Are Not Alone' last year. Both tracks topped the UK charts and raised over £1m each for the charity.

The Sun reports that the finalists will record the single and its video over the next week.

'Heroes' is believed to be released on November 7.
