Band Aid 20 - Do They Know It's Christmas? (Official Video) [4K]

In November 2004, twenty years after the phenomenal success of the original recording of ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’, Bob Geldof and Midge Ure decided to get the band back together. But it was a different band – made up of a new generation of musicians.

Only Bono sang on both the original version and Band Aid 20. Justin Hawkins and Robbie Williams both tried out his ‘Tonight thank God it’s them instead of you’ line but Bono wanted to keep it for himself and flew in specially to re-record it.

One of the new ways to buy the song was by downloading it from the internet and with these additional sales it became the UK's biggest seller of 2004 as well as the Christmas number one. All the instruments used were later auctioned.
