Radiohead And Smiths' Johnny Marr Form Charity Supergroup

November 19, 2008
Radiohead And Smiths' Johnny Marr Form Charity SupergroupNeil Finn has recruited members of Radiohead and former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr for a new charity album.

The album, a sequel to Finn's 2002 live album 'Seven Worlds Collide', will also include Wilco and Finn's son, Liam.

The record will be recorded in Auckland, New Zealand “over the next few months”, a statement said.

Finn, frontman of Crowded House, is expected to take the album, and the artists who recorded it, on tour next year.

Radiohead's Ed O'Brien and Phil Selway and Marr were all involved in the original 'Seven Worlds Collide' project.

All proceeds raised from the album will go to charity Oxfam.
