Sir Bob Geldof's concert Live Aid could make a comeback in the coronavirus fight, 37 years after the first gig's fundraising efforts for Ethiopian famine relief. The November application will no doubt be a shock for fans after Sir Bob spoke in March of his belief that Live Aid couldn't happen nowadays because the internet 'has broken down the world into individualism.' Geldof, now 69, was one of the organizers of the huge 1985 benefit concert to raise funds for Ethiopia famine relief. He said: 'We had a huge lobby: 1.2 billion people, 95 per cent of the television sets on Earth watched that concert,' reflecting on the success of Live Aid. MailOnline has contacted representatives for Bob and Band Aid Charitable Trust for comment.
