In a show of incredible support of solidarity, the likes of Kings Of Leon, Florence + The Machine, Mini Mansions, The Maccabees, Ed Harcourt and more have recorded and released covers of Eagles Of Death Metal's 'I Love You All The Time'. Listen to all the covers of the Zipper Down cut below. 

Inspired by the 'Save A Prayer' campaign, the band urged others to cover their song 'I Love You All The Time' in order to raise money for the victims of the Paris terror attacks - where ISIS killed 89 of their fans during a shot on their Zipper Down tour at The Bataclan on 13 November.

Now, scores of acts have come forward to share their renditions - with all proceeds from the Play It Forward campaign going to help the victims of the attacks and their families via Josh Homme's Sweet Stuff Foundation. 

“I made a plea to artists and business people alike to come together to use our solidarity as proof that we are stronger together, and that we can make a difference," said Homme in a statement. "We are proud to be a little part of such a big group of talent and good will. We can’t thank these artists enough for their donations of talent, love, time, and compassion. Now, the Play It Forward Campaign is in the hands of the fans to help us make a difference, and to help those affected by this tragedy.

"Please listen, purchase, play, and enjoy – and know that every time you do, you’re doing the sweet stuff that makes that difference.”

All of the tracks are now available via iTunes, Prime Music and Spotify
