Brian May wants a Live Aid Concert on Climate Change

Queen’s Brian May indicated the issue of climate change is “so enormous” that a benefit concert akin to 1985’s Live Aid is perhaps needed to adequately confront the ongoing environmental concern. But it would require the work of the world’s young people to make a dent in global warming by way of a large-scale charity show, he suggested.

Still, that may not be enough. As framed by the the Mirror Monday (May 6), the guitarist posited that youth worldwide would have to galvanize behind a rally similar to Live Earth 2007 if they wish to raise awareness.

“We’d help in any way we can but I think that’s what it would require.”

He warns the issue is “so enormous” that even a gig the size of Live Aid – estimated to have raised £150million since the first 1985 gig – might not be a big enough.

The guitarist took part in the original concert with Queen, and it was one of their most famous performances.
