NEARLY 60,000 music fans gathered last night for the final star-studded Live 8 concert — with a call for world leaders gathering at the G8 summit to make poverty history.

Live 8 boss Bob Geldof today condemned violent protesters as “idiots” as he set off on a train to Scotland on his anti-poverty crusade, but he dismissed last night’s clashes in Edinburgh ahead of the G8 summit as a “side issue” compared with the “extreme violence” of third world suffering.
