Prime Minister Gordon Brown has pledged to waive VAT on the song.

Cowell, who organised the recording for Haiti, said: “We have a short time to do this but already we are getting some fantastic support.

“Right now this is an absolute priority for us all, the people of Haiti need as much help as we can give them as soon as possible, every day the situation becomes more desperate.”

Williams said: “I’m very honoured to be asked to contribute to the single. We can all do something to help the people of Haiti – and I urge everyone to do what they can.”

Cole added: “It’s heartbreaking to see what is happening in Haiti. Hopefully the money from Everybody Hurts will help the people of Haiti rebuild their lives.”

And Boyle said: “The Haiti earthquake has caused devastation and suffering that most of us will never experience nor could imagine. I feel privileged to be a part of such a wonderful project that will raise money to help the country.”

The track will be available to download on February 7 and can be bought in shops on February 8. You can pre-order your copy of the single by following the link below.
