40th Anniversary Ultimate Mix of Band Aid's 'Do they Know It's Christmas' featuring Harry Styles, Bono, Chris Martin, Ed Sheeran

But has raised some controversy.

The remixed version of Band Aids' Do They Know It’s Christmas is out today… it’s been 40 years since the original fundraising song dropped – with Bob Geldof now remixing the original 1984 version with live performances from 2004 and 2014 – which will see a young Sting singing alongside a young Ed Sheeran, a young George Michael besides a young Harry Styles, and more. 

There is a little controversy though – as Ed Sheeran was part of the 2014 30th anniversary show but didn't give permission for his voice to be used in the remix. Oh Dear!! 

Here is a screen shot of his thoughts from his Insta story.
