London – Irish pop star Bob Geldof (73) defended his Band Aid campaign shortly before the 40th anniversary of the first release of the song “Do They Know It’s Christmas”. “This little pop song has kept millions of people alive,” he said in an interview with the Sunday Times. He added: “Why should Band Aid stop feeding the thousands of children who depend on us for a meal?”
