Instant Karma's Gonna Get You Next Month

U2, R.E.M., Christina Aguilera, Green Day, Black Eyed Peas and Avril Lavigne are among the stars who've covered John Lennon songs for a charity compilation titled Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign To Save Darfur.

A two-CD, 23-song set will be released by Warner Bros. on June 12. Additional Lennon covers by Canadians Finger Eleven, The Waking Eyes, David Usher, Barenaked Ladies and K-OS — as well as Duran Duran, Deftones, Ozzy Osbourne and others — will be made available as digital downloads via online retailers.

The rights to Lennon's songs and all the publishing royalties that will be generated by the new recordings were donated by his widow, Yoko Ono.

"It's wonderful that, through this campaign, music that is so familiar to many people of my era will now be embraced by a whole new generation," says Ono. "John's music set out to inspire change and, in standing up for human rights, we really can make the world a better place."

Sales proceeds will support Amnesty International and its campaign to focus attention and mobilize action to end the atrocities and help victims of the crisis in Sudan as well as other human rights abuses.
