LadBaby and Martin Lewis to release cover of Do They Know It’s Christmas
And it’s all for a good cause
LadBaby has announced that they are releasing a fifth Christmas song, and they’ve got a very special guest this time round.
The YouTube stars are aiming to bag an unprecedented fifth Christmas number one single in a row, releasing a cover of Band Aid’s 1984 track Do They Know It’s Christmas.
The duo, Mark and Roxanne Hoyle, will be raising money for the Trussell Trust to help those affected by the cost of living crisis.
And finance expert Martin Lewis will be joining them on the track, as well as some ‘icons from the music industry’ who haven’t been revealed yet.
LadBaby made chart history during the last festive period with their fourth consecutive UK Christmas number one, a collaboration with Ed Sheeran and Sir Elton John called Sausage Rolls For Everyone.
Mark and Roxanne said: “We never intended to release a fifth Christmas single but as ambassadors of the Trussell Trust we were not prepared to sit back and do nothing in a year when people are struggling more than ever.
“So, a few months ago we approached Bob Geldof and Midge Ure and the Band Aid Trust to ask permission to rework the most iconic Christmas track of all time, Do They Know it’s Christmas. And we were truly honoured when they said yes!”
You can now pre-order the single, with it being officially released this Friday, December 16th – all proceeds will be shared between food bank charity the Trussell Trust and the Band Aid foundation.
