The pair of famous rockers has recently teamed up in order to record a song that mocks Live Aid. The song will be included on Sacha Baron Cohen’s upcoming movie “Bruno”. A source said the following about the recording at which both Chris Martin and Bono participated: “Chris Martin was laughing throughout the recording and only just managed to get his lines out. ‘Bruno…’ promises to be the funniest and most outrageous film this year and in it Sacha’s character releases a brilliantly cheesy but subversive single – ‘Dove Of Peace’ – which mocks the likes of Band Aid. It runs close to the bone but it’s very tongue-in-cheek.” So the prophetic day when Bono and Chris Martin would team up finally came. And moreover, they’re doing it to mock a charity organization. It’s probably not that big a deal for Chris Martin, but Bono really is going off the rail a bit with this one. The end must be nigh.

Big stars like Bruce Springsteen, Bono and Beyonce are set to perform during US President-elect Barack Obama’s pre-inauguration concert on January 18 at Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. The list of celebrities who wanted to perform for Obama’s pre-inaugural and actual inauguration ceremony is endless but only a few were chosen due to the sensitivity of the event and the very tight security procedures.

The show is aptly titled “We Are The One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration” considering the united front shown by the various big stars who will grace the show. To join Springsteen, Bono and Beyonce on stage are Sheryl Crow, Stevie Wonder, James Taylor, John Mellencamp, Shakira, Josh Groban and Usher. You can also watch the show in any cable station beginning 7 PM. Event producer George Stevens said it took only 45 minutes to get three yeses from Garth Brooks, Bono and Springsteen when they were asked to perform in the show.
