Will.I.Am to remix ‘My Generation’ for Haiti

January 27, 2010 by Dan Swinhoe 

hope0afor-haiti-nowBlack Eyed Peas and Solo artist Will.I.Am has said he’s been commissioned by Pete Townsend himself to remix Tho Who’s 1965 track My Generation with new lyrics to fit ‘his generation’ and will also feature former Guns ‘N’ Roses guitarist Slash.

The song will be premiered on Feb 7 at SuperBowl XLIV where The Who are playing at half time. The song will be released for download on iTunes shortly afterwards.

This is set to be released as another charity song in aid of the people suffering from the aftermath of the Haiti Earthquake. The Hope for Haiti album has topped the Itunes chart and is looking likely to top the album charts of downloads alone.

The album features a  large array of stars, including Madonna, Coldplay and Bruce Springsteen, while the two most popular songs have been Justin Timberlake’s cover of Hallelujula and Jay-Z, U2 and Rhianna’s song Stranded (Haiti Mon Amur). 100% of the money from album sales is going to help the cause

A television appeal featuring the album artists raised $61 Million over the weekend and that figure is sure to grow.

The 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti near the capital of Port-au-Prince on Tuesday, January 12th.
