Freddie Mercury

Queen have released a brand new track featuring vocals from late frontman Freddie Mercury, in a bid to raise money for the fight against AIDS.

(RED) and The Coca-Cola company have teamed up with one another for new campaign, 'Share the Sound of an AIDS Free Generation', which will see a roster of artists debut new music and offer exclusive experiences through the initiative.

The month-long campaign kicks off today with Queen's track 'Let Me In Your Heart Again', and William Orbit has remixed the tune.

Brian May commented: "It's been 23 years since the world lost our beloved Freddie Mercury,. We've made extraordinary progress in the fight against AIDS in that time. But we cannot simply rest on the fact that the treatment is available. We must ensure that it is provided. Roger and I are proud to lend this rediscovered song to the (Coca-Cola) RED campaign, in the hope that Freddie's powerful voice can inspire the world yet again."

Forthcoming exclusives will come from the likes of Aloe Blac and a collaboration between Avicii and Wyclef Jean on 'Divine Sorrow'.

Fans can donate to the campaign at omaze.com/CokeRed and in doing so could be in with the chance of winning one of the once-in-a-lifetime experiences on offer.

Those include being flown to a U" gig, meeting Bono backstage and being given a (RED) Gretsch guitar from the singer.

Another will win tickets to three of the biggest musical festivals all over the world, and a third will get to sit on-stage in London for Queen and Adam Lambert's concert, as well as receiving a VIP tour of Queen's Switzerland recording studio in Montreux.

Money raised goes directly to The Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, financing grants that provide HIV testing, counseling, treatment, prevention and care services.

Emmanuel Seuge, Vice President, Global Alliances & Ventures, The Coca-Cola Company, said: "One of the primary goals behind the movement of this campaign is to use the power of music to rally the millennial generation in realising that an AIDS free world is within reach.

"We are grateful to all of the artists who are joining us in this remarkable effort."
