Geldof: Do they know it's terrible?

Bob Geldof has blasted charity single ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’ as one of the “worst songs ever”.

The former Boomtown Rats singer and charity campaigner co-wrote the festive staple – which was recorded by a host of the biggest names in pop music in November 1984 and released later that year – with Midge Ure to raise money for the relief of the 1984–1985 famine in Ethiopia.
