It might have been Queen who stole the show at Live Aid - their performance is frequently voted one of the greatest of all time - but it was actually Paul McCartney who had the coveted final spot at Wembley Stadium (notwithstanding the big group singalong of Do They Know It’s Christmas?, of course).
Unfortunately, though, things didn’t go entirely to plan: when McCartney sat down at the piano to sing The Beatles’ Let It Be, it turned out that his mic wasn’t working, meaning that, for the first two minutes of the song - after which the mic was fixed - those in the crowd could barely hear him.
