Some of the comments in this thread

so Bob Geldof wanted to do use his contacts and his profile to raise money to stop an deadly disease, and he is demonised for it? Yes it is a bunch of celebs singing, but in the main a bunch of celebs who really don't need any extra publicity right now, Bono, Ed Sheeran, ID actually got out of their beds on a gloomy November afternoon to come together to record the song, yes we all give to charity in some way shape or form, but do we get off our arses to actually do anything, I don't, so I can't say I am in a position to criticise people who do whatever their status in life, and as for people dragging Peaches into the debate...really, people grief in different ways, maybe this is Bob's way, by throwing himself into a project? Buy the song don't buy the song, we are lucky we have a choice.
