"Bob rang me up and asked me to do it. He explained that this time we wouldn't be looking for money but trying to show the G8 leaders how much the people want the African debt to be cancelled. I realised it was a great idea and I think Bob is handling it with his usual panache, if anyone can pull it
off it's Bob and Bono. I'm proud to be on the team and look forward to the
free gig, which I know will be a really exciting one. The energy and passion
that this idea can produce could be a landmark moment for all of us."
