Nettie Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Bob Geldof has been named the 2005 Nobel Man Of Peace, after years of pioneering work for the world's underprivileged. The announcement of the honour was made at last night's DVD launch party for Live 8, which was organised by Geldof this summer, 25 years after he instigated Live Aid. Geldof saus he is "overwhelmed" by the prize, which will be presented by the former leader of the Soviet Union, Mikael Gorbachev in Rome next month. A statement said Geldof had been chosen "for his unflagging work and powerful voice on behalf of the poor of Africa over the last 20 years and in particular the last 12 months." "He has harnessed world opinion to make political leaders act immediately, improving the lives of millions." Geldof himself commented: "I am overwhelmed and deeply proud to receive this award from such an esteemed and exceptional collection of individuals." "It reaffirms the progress made by Live 8 and the Make Poverty History campaign and underlines the unwavering support for its aims internationally." The Live 8 DVD, featuring performances from the likes of U2, Robbie Williams, Sir Paul McCartney and Coldplay, is released on November 7. CONGRATULATIONS BOB!!

an_cat Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Yeah, hang on a second. I just realised how this was worded. Bob Geldof in no way got THE Nobel Peace Prize. I thought that this was talking about him getting a facet of that prize, like a minor honor? Huh. But I haven't heard anything since so maybe not. Go figure. :huh: Bono still should have got it. :smug: :rolleyes: :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
