Sir Bob Geldof attends Australian speaking tour date in Melbourne

Sir Bob Geldof is in Australia for some very special gigs. 

The British rocker gave a talk at his An Exclusive Evening with Bob Geldof event at Crown Melbourne on Friday night. 

The 71-year-old was dapper as ever as he walked the red carpet at the venue, donning a slim fit suit. 

He paired the black outfit with a blue striped dress shirt which he wore partially unbuttoned.

Bob wore his white locks down around his face and was sporting a full beard, while skipping the accessories. 

He took the stage for an intimate chat which was hosted by Seven Sport broadcaster Hamish McLachlan.  

The musician will spend a week of his time in Melbourne co-hosting the launch of Australia’s newest radio station, Disrupt. 

He heads up the Enterprise Breakfast program alongside ABC star Libbi Gorr. 

The breakfast show will host chats about topics such as business, entrepreneurship, and innovation.

Bob told A Current Affair that he’s happy to be Down Under but not so keen on the Australian winter. 

‘I don’t like coming here in the winter, I have to say. It’s a bit like being stuck in Dublin again,’ he said. 

‘To get here I sailed across the Pacific from Mexico to Tahiti and then came down.’

He added that he was looking forward to his time on Aussie radio. 

‘You just make noises and people laugh. You’re not in any way prejudiced by my crap hair’ he joked.
