Did the x factor guy give money to charity or is this just about RATM?

I think it's great. Since TOTP died.. no wait, since the beeb brutally killed it, nobody really gives 2 ****s about the charts so i think anything to make that better is brilliant.

Power to the people

I think the only reason it was mentioned was that if it hadn't people would assume they were "raking it in"

It wasn't a "oh look we're giving to charity, look how good we are" it was "well this unexpected income is a bonus, but we'll be passing it forward"

not on a high horse mate and i chose not to believe the hype.

Did David Gilmour make any noise a few years back when he sold his huge house in london and gave all the money from the sale to homeless charities?

You give to feel good and do good, not to get good publicity. If that was their genuine reason they could have said nothing at all. The fb page encouraged people to give and people gave, none of them made anything from giving did they?

I'm talking about the band, nothing to do with the FB group

If they hadn't said they were giving the proceeds away people would speculate that they were cashing in on some unexpected and un-earned popularity...
