London ? The Black Eyed Peas, The Cure and Avril Lavigne are among the artists recording songs by John Lennon to raise funds for Amnesty International.

The first four tracks will be released Dec. 10, International Human Rights Day. They include the Black Eyed Peas’ version of “Power to the People,” The Cure’s take on “Love,” “Isolation” by Snow Patrol and “Grow Old With Me” by The Postal Service.

The tracks will be available as downloads from www.amnesty. org/noise.

The campaign aims to “bring an awareness of human rights to a new generation,” said Irene Khan, Amnesty International secretary-general.

Lennon was shot dead by Mark David Chapman outside his New York apartment building on Dec. 8, 1980. His widow, Yoko Ono, donated the rights to his solo songbook to Amnesty International in 2003.
