An all-star lineup of artists will team up this week to cover the 2002 Foo Fighters classic, "Times Like These," in support of the global effort to stay safe and stay home during the Coronavirus crisis. Times Like These was the second single from the Foo Fighters’ fourth album, "One By One," which earned top 10 status in more than a dozen countries and sold more than a million copies in the U.S.
Chris Martin of Coldplay, Ellie Goulding, Royal Blood, Dua Lipa and Rita Ora, among many others will record and film their contributions from their own homes before they are compiled by producer Fraser T. Smith for an April 23 release as the Stay Home Live Lounge – in honor of the long-running BBC Radio "Live Lounge" series that sees intimate studio versions of hits and covers.
