Bob Geldof: Live Aid wouldn't work today

SIR Bob Geldof says Live Aid would not work as a fundraiser today because rock and roll no longer has the currency it did in the Eighties.

The former Boomtown Rats star, knighted for his 1985 effort to raise money for victims of the Ethiopian famine, said: “Rock ’n’ roll is the most powerful art there has ever been.

“But it has ceased to be the spine of our culture. It was of the moment and could transmit an idea to the game-changing part of the population, but I’m not sure that exists now.”
