X Factor Contestants To Cover David Bowie Song

October 15, 2010
X Factor Contestants To Cover David Bowie SongX Factor contestants are set to release a cover of >David Bowie’s ‘Heroes’ as a charity single.

The track will feature all 16 finalists, including Cher Lloyd and Diva Fever, and is due to raise money for Help For Heroes.

The charity raises money to support members of the Armed Forces who have been wounded in the service of their country.

The cover of ‘Heroes’ will be released on November 7, according to The Sun.

In 2008, X Factor finalists, including eventual winner Alexandra Burke, released a cover of Mariah Carey’s ‘Hero’ for the charity.

The song raised £1.3million for the Help For Heroes Rehabilitation Complex at Headley Court.
