Numerous British tabloids are reporting that Sacha Baron Cohen has apparently recruited U2 and Coldplay frontmen, Bono and Chris Martin, for a mock single in promotion of his upcoming film, “Brüno.”
As it is April 1st though, this reeks of an April Fool’s joke, however it’s also ironic that it reads pretty much exactly like the daily reporting spat out by British tabloids like the Daily Mail, the Mirror, etc.
It’s almost sad that you can’t really spot a difference. Along with Martin and Bono, stars such as Sting, Elton John, The Village People and Madonna are allegedly also in line for cameos for the Band Aid spoof.
The purported track is titled “Dove Of Peace” and features the line “For people of Africa who live in hell/They will never wear Chanel.” Sources added that “Chris Martin was in stitches throughout the recording and only just managed to get his lines out.” Smells like horseshit, but it is being re-reported on the official Brüno website, but that probably means little (though to be completely honest we’re not 100% sure the site is “official“) “Brüno” is due out July 10th pending NC-17 trims that make for good publicity (apparently the sex scenes are currently being edited).
