Bono's Regret: The Mullet That Defined Live Aid

Forty years back, the iconic Live Aid charity concert occurred in London aimed at aiding those suffering from hunger in Ethiopia. A newly released documentary features U2 frontman Bono (65), who shares that he now feels some regret regarding a particular wild hair-related aspect of his look during the event, according to "People" magazine.

Having a Mullet While Being Seen by Nearly Two Billion Individuals

"I can't even face that moment head-on because it was such a terrible hair day… truly, one of the most iconic moments of your life and your activism… and you ended up with a mullet," Bono mentions in the documentary "Live Aid: When Rock 'n' Roll Took on the World." The film debuted on "BBC" on July 6 and broadcasted on "CNN" on July 13 — precisely 40 years following the massive concert held on July 13, 1985.

Over the course of 16 hours, global celebrities appeared on stage at the same time at London’s Wembley Stadium and Philadelphia’s John F. Kennedy Stadium in Pennsylvania, thanks to the efforts of Irish artist Bob Geldof (73). Bono delivered a brief performance with U2 and joined a collective rendition of “Do They Know It's Christmas?” along with George Michael from Wham, Paul McCartney from the Beatles, Freddie Mercury from Queen, and numerous other artists. Approximately 1.9 billion viewers—nearly 40% of the planet's population back then—saw the shows from their homes via TV.
