MUSE , PRODIGY and SUGABABES are the latest stars to record cover versions of their favourite Number One singles of all time for NME's WAR CHILD album, '1 LOVE'. The album, which is released in October, also features a unique collaboration between Dido and Faithless. Other participants include Oasis, Stereophonics, Manic Street Preachers, Jimmy Eat World , Ms Dynamite, Starsailor, Feeder and Badly Drawn Boy.
As reported previously, the album is being assembled in the same spirit as 1995's 'Help' album (Oasis, Radiohead, Portishead, Massive Attack, Sinead O'Connor, Blur...), which raised considerable funds and awareness for the charity which supports kids caught in war zones around the world.
