Make Poverty History and Get Robbie Laid
This is London comes through with the details of life backstage at Live8. The £7,000 A-list goodie bag sounds good too. So nice to do these things for charity.
Despite running the event, Geldof managed to offend at least one person. Fellow organiser MIDGE URE was said to be furious that Bob had refused to allow him to perform - but then appeared himself singing the Boomtown Rats song I Don't Like Mondays.
Ure was heard muttering furiously: 'Oh God, what a tart he is,' when he saw Geldof singing on the video screens in the VIP room. Those who were at the original Live Aid remembered how Geldof had moved his performance around in the first show meaning that he, and not Ure, would perform in front of Prince Charles and Princess Diana.

Though much may be forgiven for the first Pink Floyd appearance in twenty-four years.
