A new 40th anniversary mix of the festive track will see the young and old voices of the charity single’s artists come together to create an “ultimate” version.

Do They Know It’s Christmas? – 2024 Ultimate Mix will premiere on UK breakfast radio and streaming on November 25, the 40th anniversary of the recording of the original song, and will be released physically on the Band Aid Compilation on November 29 on CD and vinyl.

The new version of the song will feature voices from three previous editions of the song, Band Aid (1984), Band Aid 20 (2004) and Band Aid 30 (2014), including , George Michael and Chris Martin, and will see young and old voices of the likes of Bono singing together.

A new video by Oliver Murray, who created the video for The Beatles’ 2023 single Now And Then, will accompany the song, featuring David Bowie introducing the song’s stars and Michael Buerk’s news report on the song.

Richard and Susanna later handed over to showbiz editor who played an snippet of the track to viewers watching at home. Madeley pointed out: "George Michael always had mixed feelings about that because it went to number one and it kept his song, which was released that year, off number one."

Susanna added: "It was such a significant event wasn't it because it was all sparked by the remarkable reporting of Michael Buerk who was in Ethiopia just reporting what was called a biblical faming and Bob Geldof watched that and just went 'we've got to do something' and it was almost the beginning of charity singles wasn't it? It got this super group together and raised millions."
