Bob Geldof rejects 'white saviour' criticism of his charity work in Africa

Bob Geldof has rejected the idea that he is a 'white saviour'

Bob Geldof has dismissed suggestions that he has a "white saviour complex" because of his charity work.

The 73-year-old musician was the driving force behind both the Live Aid single Do They Know It's Christmas? and the Band Aid charity concert which raised awareness of famine in Ethiopia during the 1980s and has scoffed at those who are disparaging of his efforts.
