Here is the official video for the Haiti Charity Single, “Everybody Hurts”, which is now available to download or on CD single. Susan Boyle appears on the above video at 3.07-3.18. Everytime I watch this video it makes me cry. Please help the people in Haiti overcome the terrible events that have been thrown at them.

Simon Cowell is organising a charity single to raise funds for the Haiti earthquake appeal. Sponsored by The Sun newspaper, the song chosen for the recording is REM’s Everybody Hurts,  because of the strong emotion the song conveys, and the track is due to be laid down next week.

Artists who have already agreed to contribute to the single included Susan Boyle, Take That, Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, Cheryl Cole, Rod Stewart, Mika, Michael Bublé, JLS and Westlife.

Susan told The Sun: “The Haiti earthquake has caused devastation and suffering that most of us will never experience nor could imagine.

“I feel privileged to be a part of such a wonderful project that will raise money to help the country.”

All the acts taking part have agreed to give all the proceeds raided to the Haiti appeal. Gordon Brown has also agreed that the single will be VAT free.
