Ellie Goulding selected to sing this year’s ‘Children In Need’ single

BBC’s annual appeal Children in Need has announced that Ellie Goulding will be supporting the charity through her latest track, How Long Will I Love You.

The track has been selected as the official single for the 2013 Appeal and will help raise money to support disadvantaged children and young people right here in the UK.

The exclusive television performance of the single will be broadcast on the BBC Children in Need Appeal Show airing live on BBC One on Friday 15 November at 7.30pm. The Charity single will be available to pre-order from 7 October and for full download from 10 November.

How Long Will I Love You already appears on Goulding’s rereleased album Halcyon Days (released in August), and is a cover of The Waterboys’ 1990 hit.

As the official artist behind this year’s single, Goulding joins a long list of renowned performers including Girls Aloud, who supported the campaign with their comeback single Something New in 2012. Other past acts include JLS (Love You More, 2010) and the Teletubbies (as part of Peter Kay’s Animated All Star Band in 2009), along with David Bowie, Tom Jones and Elton John, who featured on the iconic Perfect Day single in 1997.
