U2 lead singer Bono will edit UK newspaper The Independent newspaper for a day, to highlight the issue of Aids in Africa.
The singer is already commissioning articles for many sections of his edition of the daily UK paper, to be published on 16 May.
The Independent's editor Simon Kelner said the paper would be "challenging and innovative".
Half the money ernt by the paper will be donated to Product Red, Bono's initiative to improve healthcare.
A spokesman for Bono told the paper: "He is tickled to be let loose on such a great paper. He's enjoying using the talents of its journalists to explore issues that are vital to him."
