Music Legend and human rights activist Bob Geldof has received a backlash of criticism recently after he slammed festival-goers for wearing Primark clothes, whilst on stage in Essex.
The Irish singer who appeared at the Brentwood Festival event with his band The Boomtown Rats on Sunday, was the subject of a stern response by angry fans on social media after he went on a foul mouthed rant at the audience members calling them “boring and tame”.
It is understood the oftten outspoken Geldof started his rannt by describing the outfits he and his fellow band members were wearing and shouted “I, for one, am wearing a f**k off pretend snakeskin suit”.
Before he he turned his attentions to the crowd saying: “On the other hand Brentwood, you are wearing wall to wall f*****g Primark. This is a rock and roll festival. When you come to a rock and roll festival, dress for a rock and roll festival.”
However Geldof’s off colour remarks were not welcomed by disgruntled fans who quickly took to social media to express their anger, with one person tweeting: “Bob Geldof swearing and going mental at Brentwood festival was so inappropriate … telling the crowd off for wearing Primark.”
Whist another commented: “We left after 2 songs couldn’t bear to listen to anymore.”
