The A-list stars gathered together for an official photograph at Sarm Studios in London today where they recorded the song
We don't think we've seen this many stars together in one room since the Oscars and that incredible selfie.
The official pictures from the Band Aid 30 recording feature a whole host of huge stars who gathered at Sarm Studios in London today.
The snaps might not break the internet like THAT snap of Kim Kardashian in the buff, but they're certainly pretty impressive and show just how many A-listers took part in the recording session.
A host of acts led by boy band heart-throbs One Direction and U2 lead singer Bono came together to record “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” - 30 years after the original was released.
Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding, Olly Murs, Chris Martin and Paloma Faith looked like they were taking it all in as Sir Bob Geldof gave an impassioned speech ahead of the recording.
Don't hitmaker Ed and former flame Ellie are also stood pretty close to each other in the line-up. Super awkward!
Many stars were not even born when the Live Aid record raised millions to tackle the plight of victims during the Ethiopian Famine in 1984.
Boomtown Rats frontman Sir Bob said: “It very much reminds me of 30 years ago. Everyone’s bleary, pop singers, as George Osborne said, are not very good in the morning.”
The original song from 1984, which raised 8 million pounds ($11 million), featured some of the era’s biggest acts including U2’s Bono, George Michael and David Bowie.
It has been re-recorded twice in 1989 and 2004.
One Direction star Niall Horan, who is seen in the snaps having a blast with band mate Harry Styles, told The Mirror: “It’s huge to be involved.
“Hopefully it goes to number one and raises a lot of money for a really worthy cause.”
Geldof earlier this week he decided to remake the single after the United Nations contacted him, saying help was urgently needed to prevent the disease from spreading beyond West Africa.
Midge Ure, who organised the original single with Geldof, said organising the new recording presented the “same old challenges”.
“Trying to get to the artists is always interesting,” he added.
“The response we have had from the artists has been phenomenal so far.”
The band, also including Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik were joined in a booth by Paloma and all looked like they were really concentrating on the song.
It will be released on Monday and is expected to raise millions to go towards combating the Ebola crisis.
New lyrics for the song, which was last recorded during Band Aid in 2005, are: “Where a kiss of love can kill you - and there’s death at every tear.”
It continues: “No peace and joy this Christmas in West Africa - the only hope they’ll have is being alive.
“Where to comfort is to fear - where to touch is to be scared.
“How can they know it’s Christmas time at all.”
The production team will be working against the clock to get the track completed in time for its first public performance on The X Factor tonight.
It will cost 99p to download or £4 to buy on CD and George Osborne this morning pledged to waive VAT on Band Aid 30 so “every penny goes to fight Ebola”.
Bookmaker Coral predicted that the new single would win the race for Christmas number one, making it odds-on at 4-6.
“The song was a major success when it was first released in 1984 and we think that Sir Bob Geldof is almost a cert to reach number one again,” said spokeswoman Nicola McGeady.
