I mean...It's never too early to talk about Christmas?!

In a recent interview with Radio Times, Musician and Activist, Bob Geldof admitted his 1984 charity single 'Band-Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas' Drives him mad!

 

 

 

Speaking of the iconic charity single in the recent interview, Geldof said: "The song has a life of its own -

It raises money every time it’s played in every f***ing supermarket. It’s Mistletoe and Wine at vegetables, Slade at baked beans, Wizzard for tea and coffee and Band Aid at the butcher’s counter".

The 71 year-old Boomtown Rats, frontman also said that he gets 'irritated' when he listens to the song now and added: "I mean… It drives me f***ing mad at Christmas. But there it is.”

That's not the Christmas spirit now is it?! 😉 Well, Geldof did write the song, so he can say what he wants...

Whether you like the song or not, there's no denying how much it's done for charity, raising more than £200million to help fight famine in Africa since its release in 1984.
