A charity cover version of REM's Everybody Hurts in aid of the Haiti earthquake victims has been launched by stars including Leona Lewis and Susan Boyle. The song, which also features vocals by Robbie Williams and Cheryl Cole, has debuted simultaneously on the radio and the internet. It also includes contributions from boyband JLS and veteran rocker Rod Stewart, as well as singers Mariah Carey and Kylie Minogue. Pop and TV mogul Simon Cowell teamed up with The Sun newspaper to organise the Helping Haiti fund-raising effort, which should see the single released for download on Sunday and in the shops the following day. The track was recorded in London and Los Angeles. Up to 200,000 people died in the magnitude 7.0 earthquake in Haiti on January 12, with hundreds of thousands more left injured and homeless.
