Over to you. Madonna

The official website for the Live 8 DVD is featuring exclusive snippets from their recent chat with Bob Geldof in which he lifts the lid on the highs and lows of coordinating Live 8. An interesting bit reveals how he got Madonna to join in:

“The thing [with Madonna] is that we went through this long written correspondence about why she should do it. And she wrote back “I don’t mind being flattered and manipulated but if I’m going to do it, why should I? Over to you’, Madonna”

The Live 8 DVD will be out on November 7, 2005. Check out more at www.live8livedvd.com
