	Bob Geldof - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Geldof was born Robert Frederick Zenon Geldof in Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin, to parents of Irish and Belgian extraction.

		Geldof kept a November appointment with BBC Radio 1 DJ Richard Skinner, to appear on his show, but instead of discussing his new album as planned, he used the airtime to publicise the idea for the charity single; this generated intense media interest in the subject.

		Twenty years after the original Live Aid concert, Bob Geldof yesterday unveiled a lineup of classic acts and recent chart stars to perform in five global follow-up concerts that threaten to dwarf the original.
		Geldof said he hoped that the involvement of the biggest artists on the world stage, also including Sting, REM, Stevie Wonder and Jay Z, would "create domestic political heat" in each of the G8 countries, aimed at forcing world leaders to drop third-world debt, reform trade laws and double aid to the region.
		Bob Geldof is a noble, noble man and I think through Live Aid he encouraged musicians to really think about what they're doing rather than just playing and driving around in flash cars."
