UK music stars rally to raise tsunami aid funds LONDON, Monday (Reuters) Singer Cliff Richard, pop star Boy George and other British music stars plan to release a song to raise money for victims of the devastating Asian tsunami, the song's composer said. Mike Read wrote the song "Grief Never Grows Old" before the Boxing Day disaster but said he was now getting stars on board to release it within weeks to raise money for survivors of the tsunami, which killed more than 145,000 people by Monday's count. "We've tracked down quite a few people, who have said :'Yes I would love to do a few lines on it'," Read told Sky News television. Read, a radio DJ, said Robin Gibb of Bee Gees fame was taking part as well as opera singer Russell Watson. Charity singles have proved hugely popular fundraisers in Britain, where the reworked Band Aid 20 charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?", featuring Dido, Jamelia and other stars, spent several weeks at the top of the charts. |
