Bono shines bright for Band Aid song line

BONO has won out in the rock rivalry over who should sing the most famous line of Do They Know It’s Christmas?

Organisers of the Band Aid 20 single revealed he would once again sing, “And tonight thank God it’s them instead of you”, as he did two decades ago. The U2 front man flew into Britain late last night to re-record the line after The Darkness singer Justin Hawkins claimed he had performed a superior version.

Bono sang the line on the original version in 1984, released to raise money for the famine in Ethiopia.
