The star-studded line-up for Sharon Osbourne's tsunami charity single has been unveiled.
Sir Elton John, Pink, Rod Stewart and Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr will all sing on the record, a cover of Eric Clapton's Tears In Heaven.
Ozzy and Kelly Osbourne will also provide vocals, along with Gwen Stefani and her husband Gavin Rossdale, Aerosmith's Steve Tyler, Phil Collins, Josh Groban and tenor Andrea Bocelli.
Rock band Velvet Revolver will provide the music.
The track will be recorded at Whitfield Studios in London, with further recording taking place in Los Angeles.
All proceeds from the single will go to Save The Children.
Sharon said she was particularly moved by the tsunami tragedy because the Osbourne family had been due to take a holiday in the affected area.
"The whole of my family were supposed to go to Thailand three days after the disaster happened. This is why I personally feel so connected to the tragedy," she said.
"It just goes to prove how uncontrollable nature is and the tragedy it can bring.
"My heart goes out to every person affected by this tragedy and that is why I am putting this together in the hope of raising more funds to help these people rebuild their lives, especially the children. Everyone has come together for this project and offered their time and full commitment without question."
Hmm, yet another charity single.
