Simon Cowell says he is putting together a charity single to raise money to help the victims of the Haiti earthquake. Simon does not know who he will have on the single yet; however, it is assumed that artists such as Susan Boyle, Leona Lewis, and Cheryl Cole will participate.
Cowell has been quoted as saying, “(Prime Minister Gordon Brown) called me a couple days ago and said if I put a record out, he’d waive the VAT. It is not the best time. Logistically, we’re all over the place, but we’ll make it happen.”
