On July 13, 1985, the world tuned in to watch Live Aid beamed in from Wembley in London and John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia. The massive event was spawned from Bob Geldof’s idea six months earlier to raise money for Ethiopian famine victims through the release of the charity single, Do They Know It’s Christmas?.The iconic performance on that day came from Queen, a band that had been considering calling it quits just months earlier. Performing in front of an estimated audience of 1.9 billion people, the fourpiece stole the show and revitalised their career.Alright takes a look back at Queen’s performance on that day as well as revisiting the origins of the Band Aid single and the logistics behind getting Live Aid off the ground.
