Bob Geldof will be rewarded for his 25-year crusade to end world poverty with a seat in the UK parliament’s House of Lords.
The former Boomtown Rats singer was awarded an honorary knighthood in 1985, a year after helping to organise charity concert Live Aid. Irish-born Geldof is eligible for the accolade because he now lives in London. A source tells British tabloid The People, “His achievements are second to none and his ability to highlight important campaigns is admirable. He’ll be a fantastic ambassador for the House of Lords.”
