With a fan-led campaign underway to get the Eagles of Death Metal's cover of Duran Duran's "Save a Prayer" to the top of the U.K. music charts, the British new wave band has announced it will donate all proceeds received from the version.

Following the deadly attack at Paris' Bataclan theater during the Eagles of Death Metal concert on Friday, Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon made the pledge Monday (Nov. 16) on Twitter, saying the band would be "considering options that are useful, peaceful & uniting."


I heard the cover (4:40) on CBCRadio's Q program this evening. It's well done, and pretty poignant now.

Cheers,
Scott.
