Bruce Springsteen was asked to play but didn't want to
Bob Geldof said
Quote:
"As for the Philadelphia show, Geldof is psyched that impresario Russell Simmons has signed on as a producer. And Geldof is sorry he has been unable to convince Bruce Springsteen to play.
"I wish Bruce would do it," he says. "He doesn't want to and I don't know why... . He's a lovely man. And we'll miss him."
