Bob Geldof is back in the news again with the release of Band Aid 30 but he’s already stirring up controvers, after refusing to tone down his language during an interview with Sky News.
The Boomtown Rats frontman appeared on the channel to promote the charity single, which features Sam Smith, Rita Ora and Ed Sheeran and hopes to raise funds to fight the Ebola virus.
However, the chat with presenter Jayne Secker didn’t exactly go to plan, with Geldof responding to criticism of the campaign by using the word ‘boll*cks’.
The outburst prompted the presenter to ask Geldof to tone down his “colourful language” but he continued to use the word again, forcing her to apologise to viewers and cut the interview short.
