Do They Know Its Christmas? - Band Aid 30 - #Ebola Music history was made this weekend when many top names in music joined forces to rerecord, “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” One highly publicized and anticipated attendee was Adele, who was a complete no show to Saturdays charity event. Band Aid 30 was put together by Sir Bob Geldolf and Midge Ure to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of the original version’s release and to raise funds and awareness to fight Ebola in West Africa, as reported by the Inquisitr. This incarnation of Band Aid 30 included Bono from U2, Robert Plant of Led Zepplin, Chris Martin of Coldplay, One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding, Sam Smith, and many others. Adele was invited by Sir Bob Geldolf to participate but never returned his calls despite multiple efforts. He told the Sun newspaper, “Adele is doing nothing. She’s not answering the phone. She’s not writing. She’s not recording. She doesn’t want to be bothered by anyone.” According to the Winnipeg Free Press., a Band Aid source also commented on her absence, saying, “We made 100 phone calls to Adele because Bob and Midge were desperate for her to take part, but it was complete radio silence back. She didn’t even bother to say she couldn’t do it.”
