Disclosure Deny Involvement in 'Do They Know It's Christmas?'

Disclosure and Band Aid Thirty are not on the same page. Band Aid sent out a press release today saying that among the many bands that were joining its current musical effort, re-recording "Do They Know It's Christmas?" to fight Ebola, Disclosure were to be part of the endeavor. This is not the case, according to Disclosure, whose representative told "Pitchfork" in a statement refuting any notion of their involvement with the project. The representative clarified the matter nullifying reports of an additional remix as well, saying, "No planned remix or involvement of any kind, unfortunately." Disclosure's name was listed on the artist page of the Band Aid 30 website. It has since been taken down, but the list of artists involved makes the missing of Disclosure manageable. The CD will have One Direction, Bono, Rita Ora, Sam Martin, Clean Bandit, Emile Sande, Bastille and Ellie Goulding listed among the star-studded cast of U.K. singers and musicians. The U2 frontman was a part of two of three pervious editions.
