"Queen Join Coca-Cola in Support for (RED) with Unreleased Track and VIP Live Experience"
"COCA-COLA INVITES THE WORLD TO “SHARE THE SOUND OF AN AIDS FREE GENERATION” AND SUPPORT (RED)"
"Campaign Features a Special Collaboration with Wyclef Jean & Avicii, New Music from Aloe Blacc, Exclusive Remix from OneRepublic, and a Previously Unreleased Song from Queen Featuring Freddie Mercury"
"Donate to Win Special Experiences including Backstage with Bono, Join Avicii On Stage, Queen + Adam Lambert On Tour, See Spend the Day with OneRepublic & more through www.omaze.com/CokeRED"
"ATLANTA, Nov. 3, 2014 — The Coca-Cola Company, in partnership with (RED), invites people from all over the world to join efforts to help end mother-to-child transmission of HIV with the launch of a new campaign, titled “SHARE THE SOUND OF AN AIDS FREE GENERATION”. The campaign will feature an array of top artists as they debut new music, and offer exclusive experiences encouraging people to come together, to share, and most importantly—to give. Funds raised from the campaign will go to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria to finance grants which provide HIV prevention, testing, counseling, treatment, and care services."
"The month-long global program which runs through World AIDS Day on December 1st, 2014, shares a message of hope and unity to empower today’s youth to understand they can be the generation to end the AIDS pandemic. 650 babies are born every day with HIV, yet life-saving medication exists and costs as little as $.40 a day. That same medication can reduce the risk of an HIV-positive woman passing on the virus to her baby by 95%. In 2013, for the first time since the discovery of the virus, more people were newly added to treatment than were newly infected with HIV, a critical milestone marking the beginning of the end of AIDS."
"New Music"
"The campaign kicks off with the debut of Queen’s “Let Me in Your Heart Again,” a previously unreleased song, mixed by William Orbit exclusively for the (Coca-Cola) RED campaign. The song features the iconic vocals of the late Freddie Mercury, who passed from AIDS in 1991. Each week, a new artist will unveil an original song which will be available to download on iTunes with proceeds benefitting the Global Fund at www.iTunes.com/REDSound.
The tracks include:" " - “Let Me in Your Heart Again” (William Orbit Mix) by Queen featuring Freddie Mercury (Week of November 3) - Download now here on iTunes" https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/let-me-in-your-heart-again/id933785035

"“It’s been 23 years since the world lost our beloved Freddie Mercury,” said Queen guitarist Brian May. “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.”"
"Unique Experiences"
"Coca-Cola and (RED) have partnered with OMAZE, a leading fundraising platform that specializes in offering the chance to win once-in-a-lifetime experiences that require fans to make a donation to secure a chance of winning. By visiting www.Omaze.com/CokeRED, fans will be able to enter to win incredible experiences, including:"

From Brian May: "Please note: Contrary to rumours, Queen + Adam will NOT be appearing!"
Cool that the fabulous Adam was not omitted from this campaign video. Pretty smart move by Queen to put themselves out there by supporting a cause that killed their legendary frontman while still giving his latest successor some exposure.
