His involvement came around thanks to Coldplay's Chris Martin, who is also taking part and roped Ed in too. The Thinking Out Louder singer revealed: "Chris came and sat with me at my O2 gig before Bob rang up. I was already on board before I was on board. "Geldof knows everyone! I still haven't met him but he managed to get my number." Other stars on the song include One Direction. Another big name signed up to Bob Geldof's Band Aid 30 is songbird Emeli Sande.

What's Band Aid? A little bit of information: Bob Geldof to record Band Aid 30Plans are under way to pull together a host of music stars to create the fourth incarnation of the Band Aid charity single. The men behind Do They Know It's Christmas are expected to announce the line-up on Monday for Band Aid 30. Bob Geldof and Midge Ure first gathered a group of musicians together in 1984, raising £8m for famine relief in Ethiopia. Do They Know It's Christmas was recorded again in 1989 and 2004. Geldof and Ure will be hoping to gather some of today's most popular music acts including One Direction, Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith. It is thought the money raised will go towards the fight against Ebola in West Africa. The original track featured the voices of George Michael, Bono from U2, Duran Duran and Bananarama, among others. The single was the catalyst for the cross-continent Live Aid concerts in London and Philadelphia, which raised more than £40m. The 1989 incarnation of Band Aid was produced by the Stock, Aitken and Waterman stable, largely featuring their artists such as Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Sonia. Band Aid 20, marking 20 years of the record, included the likes of Coldplay, Dizzee Rascal, Ms Dynamite, Will Young and Robbie Williams. Bono, Sir Paul McCartney and George Michael from the original record returned for the collaboration, which was released to raise money for Sudan's troubled Darfur region. link BBC

It would be nice to see all of them there, but something tells me there must be a reason because Chris is usually so inclusive with his band, but really, who knows why. I notice that Bono always shows up alone as well. But yes, it would be nice to see them.

The 13 best things Bob Geldof told us at the Band Aid 30 recordingNever one to hold back, Bob Geldof seemed relaxed, tired but happily in control of the bunch of artists he'd summoned for Band Aid 30.
They included the likes of One Direction, Rita Ora, Olly Murs, Chris Martin, Sam Smith, Bono and Ellie Goulding.
His one-liners kept coming throughout the day as the musicians recorded the fourth version of Do They Know It's Christmas?
So here are some of Bob's best bits...
On One Direction singing the opening lines to the song: "It's beautiful. I mean seriously. I never expected that from them. It's very moody the start, and they just come sort of whispering in. It's great."
"Ellie (Goulding) and Sam (Smith) and the 1D guys, they grew up having to sing this song at their nativity plays you know."
When we asked Bob about the changed lyrics reflecting the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, such as Bono's re-vamped line: "How do you know that? Oh [mumbles and swears] it's supposed to be a [swears] surprise."
"There will be a fight over the Bono line, because it's become a 'thing'. I said to Chris Martin, 'do you want to do the Bono line?' and he said 'no'. And I said 'well come on man you've got to step up' and he said 'I'm not doing that, that belongs to him' and I said 'I've changed it' and he said 'it still belongs to him!'"
And after Bono had recorded 'that' line, how was it? "Mega."
Why the song will get played on The X Factor results show but we won't be able to buy the download until Monday morning: "Because it's technical.
"We'll have a rough edit on The X Factor and we'll have a rough edit of the film. Simon [Cowell], not many people know, but he always joins in on these things.
"He called me and said 'do you want five minutes on The X Factor?' Yes! So it may not be the finished single."
"Tracey Emin was coming down but she saw on the news you lot [the press] and said 'forget it'."
"Bastille gave up two stadium shows in America to fly back and we don't give them a penny. Not an airfare, not a coffee, not a telephone call. They're here because they really want to be here."
Sir Bob had asked Adele to join the track, so how come she's not on it?
"She's not doing anything. It's not this, not a record, it's not writing, it's not interviews, nothing. I put the call in, I didn't speak to her."
And Jake Bugg wanted to sing on Band Aid 30 but: "He said yes, but then couldn't do it because he's got a gig in Rio today."
"They're amazing artists, you may not like them, you might not like the track, it doesn't matter. This thing is an event. You can be part of the event and turn it into an phenomenon."
"Don't do any of the free stuff [music streaming], it's nonsense. Pay for it."
"The truth is, it'll be number one at 8am [on Monday]."

1) Dan from Bastille, Chris and Ed Sheeran are in the same room. Life = complete. 2) What has harry styles done to his hair. No. Just no. 3) Why have they roped three youtubers in? Well I get why, it's to appeal to people my age, but they missed an opportunity. These three youtubers practically share the same fan base, many of which also like 1D. They could've made who they picked more varied and thus got more publicity. Plus these people can't even sing to my knowledge. Anyway small rant over.

Was that Chris right before the Bono line? I just have audio so I can't tell If you want to know Chris' line: Yes, seems like it was. So Chris got the line: "And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom" (good line)
(there was a brief preview on British X Factor tonight)
