Band Aid (formed: 1984) are a supergroup of English and Irish singers and four sub-units, Band Aid 20, Band Aid 30, Band Aid II and the original Band Aid (Band Aid 10). They rose to fame mainly after they released their cult classic Do They Know It's Christmas? originally written for the 1984 Famine in Ethiopia (which is the same reason Live Aid was held) and changed slightly for Band Aid 30 in 2014 with the new version focusing more on the Ebola Outbreak and Epidemic in West Africa.https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/the-making-of-band-aid-secrets-and-stories-from-the-star-studded-session-172815/
==History==
In 1984, Ethiopia was struck with famine and people tried to raise awareness about the situation so a 33 year old Bob Geldof took matters into his own hands and decided to make the supergroup Band Aid singing their classic Do They Know It's Christmas? to raise money for Ethiopia, Live Aid was also held that year which included bands like U2 and especially Queen (formed: 1970) one event at Live Aid went down in history and that was Freddie Mercury (born September 5, 1946 - November 24, 1991 [age 45]), yelling out "AY-OH" and the crowd responding back.https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/610472/do-they-know-its-christmas-band-aid-song-history
The song was re-recorded in 1989 by Band Aid II. In 2004 problems arose in Africa once again leading to the creation of Band Aid 20, with their rock version of Do They Know It's Christmas and it went viral for a number of reasons.https://www.last.fm/music/Band+Aid+20/+wiki
In 2014, West Africa was struck with an Ebola (discovered: 1976) epidemic, a disease that causes mass bleeding and nearly always results in death, so in 2014, a new version, Band Aid 30, was formed with a pop twist on the song; featuring hit artists like Seal, Ed Sheeran and One Direction.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/nov/11/band-aid-30-patronising-bob-geldof-ebola-do-they-know-its-christmas
The song was changed to fit the epidemic more but controversy arose when Bono's original line of "Well tonight; thank god it's them instead of you" was changed to "Well tonight we're reaching out and touching you" while other lyrics such as "And they only water flowing; is the bitter stinging of tears" and "And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time" and "And the greatest gift they'll get this year is life" to "Where a kiss of love can kill you", "And there's death in every tear" since Ebola is spread through most forms of contact.https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-30182195https://www.forbes.com/sites/danmatthews/2014/11/18/bandaid-30-backlash-is-fair-but-potentially-damaging/?sh=681fad115c56
