"It would probably cause the younger generation to confront the cause up close," said the guitarist
's iconic guitarist Brian May said during an interview with the Daily Mirror that he would like to see a new edition of the legendary Live Aid concert, addressing climate change and global warming.
The festival, which held its last edition in 1985 at Wembley Stadium in London and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, aimed to raise funds for the starving people of Ethiopia. At that time, it featured notable appearances by Phil Collins, U2, David Bowie , and, of course, Queen, in one of their best performances of all time.
“It would probably make the younger generation confront the cause firsthand. We would help in any way necessary to make it happen,” he said. However, the musician knows that it's not easy to convey the idea that the show can change the world. “People have seen, after Live Aid, many shows with the intention of solving world problems, so it's not as easy as it seems.”
