Live Aid to Be Re-Broadcast for 40th Anniversary on U.K. Radio
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Live Aid, Greatest Hits Radio will re-broadcast the legendary 1985 benefit concert in a 10-hour special.
Hosted by British radio veteran Simon Mayo, the special, titled Live Aid Relived, will feature original performances by Queen, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, The Who, and more. The special will close with the final episode of Live Aid: 40 Years On, a documentary series featuring interviews with Bob Geldof, Midge Ure, Queen’s Roger Taylor and Brian May, and promoter Harvey Goldsmith. Queen’s iconic 21-minute set, widely regarded as one of the greatest live performances of all time, will air in full, alongside Bowie’s emotional “Heroes” dedication to children around the world.
