Green Day and U2 might collaborate on charity track

Green Day and U2 are reportedly planning a version of The Saints Are Coming, with proceeds going to Music Rising to help New Orleans musicians.

Reports suggest Green Day and U2 might collaborate on a track to be sold in aid of Music Rising, a charity raising money to help New Orleans based musicians devastated by Hurricane Katrina which The Edge has been a supporter of since its inception. The reports say the two bands will record a version of 'The Saints Are Coming', originally a (not actually that big a) hit for Scottish band The Skids.
