STARS OF THE music world started gathering in London early this morning to record the latest version of Feed the World.

Thirty years after the first charity single was recorded to help people starving in Africa, Bob Geldof has sounded the klaxon once more, this time to raise money to fight Ebola.

The lyrics have been changed to reflect the new cause, with the original:

Where the only water flowing, is the bitter sting of tears

changed to

Where a kiss of love can kill you, and there’s death in every tear

Meanwhile Bono’s iconic line:

Well tonight thank God it’s them, instead of you

has been changed to

Well tonight we’re reaching out and touching you
