My Chemical Romance re-record song for Japan disaster

Popular rockers My Chemical Romance have re-recorded their anthemic track, 'Sing', to help raise money for victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami tragedy. 

The song was recently covered on hit U.S musical series 'Glee' so its profile has been raised enough for it to make a significant impact with fundraising. A statement on the band's website explains their decision to create a new video and re-release it:

"While in the UK, we received news of the events unfolding after the massive earthquake. It affected us in a profound way. Moved by the terrible tragedy in Japan, and inspired by our fans, we set to work on #SINGItForJapan, a re-imagining of SING."

'#SINGItForJapan' is available for purchase now through iTunes and all proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross for the relief work in Japan, and you can watch the new visuals for it below:
