The band believe strongly in what Live 8 stands for and have a huge amount of respect for Sir Bob Gldof efforts to pull these Live 8 shows together, but most importantly, what he has done already to make people aware of the massive World Debt problem and force Governments into action, even before a note has been struck at any of the shows.
