Who turned down BandAid?
I love the song and think the line-up is good. Been in the news Adele didn't answer the calls, which made me wonder - who else was in mind, who did not end up featuring for whatever reason?
I also heard that Foals and Florence and the Machine had been asked and were grateful for the opportunity, however could not commit as Foals are working on a new album and Florence is out in USA working on her new album and could not get back to the UK when needed. |

I think on the Original Band Aid Paul McCartney turned it down. He regretted it later when it became so big.

Fuse ODG wrote a very interesting article, which overall I agree with:

Fiesta Clutch Judder pulled out on medical grounds due to the singer's slipped disc.

Adele heard Bob Bellend Geldof was trying to contact her and immediately smashed her phone to pieces.

Phil Oakey and Sade did snub Band Aid though and Bob Geldof was quick to let the media know about it. |

George Ezra was asked but he was abroad (not in Budapest).

Lily Allen turned it down, she wasn't shy in saying why either.

I think he was touring at the time and couldn't do it. I seem to remember the B side was an instrumental version with spoken messages by the various artists and Paul McCartney did contribute to this.
Phil Oakey and Sade did snub Band Aid though and Bob Geldof was quick to let the media know about it. Why does he think he has the right to try to embarrass anyone who turns down his demand they appear on his charity record? |

Yes, but it's not like she was going to profit from that.

Not Band Aid, but Prince turned down the chance to be on 'USA For Africa's' 'We Are The World'.
He addressed the situation in his song 'Hello'. |

I have only heard the two mentioned which were Adele and Lilly Allen. I think the majority of artists said yes to the project.

Which shows what an odious man Bob Geldof is.

Leona Lewis was asked but also turned it down due to prior commitments.
