The promoter for charity concert Live Aid has waded into the row over a new mix of Band Aid’s charity single, “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”.
Harvey Goldsmith – the promoter behind the 1985 Live Aid concert who has also worked with artists including Sir Elton John, Queen, The Who, Bruce Springsteen, Shania Twain and Madonna – dismissed the “busybodies and woke do-gooders” he said were taking issue with the track.
