- Geldof’s Hearts Club band to open Live8
Maurice Chittenden and John Follain
SIR Paul McCartney and U2, dressed in Sgt Pepper costumes, are due to open next weekend’s Live 8 concerts singing “It was 20 years ago today” — a reference to the Live Aid concert of 1985.
The lyrics were the opening line of the Beatles’ Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band concept album.
McCartney will return to the stage in London’s Hyde Park seven hours later to end the show by leading an ensemble rendition of The Long and Winding Road, a rallying call for people to travel to Edinburgh to put pressure on the G8 summit starting four days later. -
Well it doesn't seem to be a joke anymore. Plus there is other cool news in the Sunday Times article. I won't spoil but Pink Floyd will do 3 songs and you can read about in the article.
