(Started November 7th, 2019) What Would The 2020 Version of Live Aid Look Like?, Part 2

Hello,

Queen guitarist, Brian May, has suggested that their be a new version of Live Aid to fight Global Warming, which I think is a great idea. What would a 2020 Live Aid look like, here's some possibilities.

"The classic rock band, Queen, was a large part of the iconic concert that also featured U2, Phil Collins, Madonna, Elton John, David Bowie, Mick Jagger and many others. The benefit for Ethiopian famine relief was the first true global concert and linked performances at London's Wembley Stadium and Philadelphia's JFK Stadium to reach an estimated TV audience of 1.5 billion people.

"It probably would take the younger generation to take that bull by the horns," May told The Daily Mirror. "We'd help in any way we can, but I think that's what it would require."

The original Live Aid featured some of the biggest stars of the time. Madonna, Elton John, David Bowie, a briefly reunited Led Zeppelin, a young and upcoming band, U2, RUN-D.M.C., Duran Duran, The Thompson Twins, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, The Cars and Hall & Oates.  original Live Aid featured some of the biggest stars at the time. Madonna, Elton John, David Bowie, a briefly reunited Led Zeppelin, a young and upcoming band from Ireland, U2, also RUN-D.M.C., Duran Duran, The Thompson Twins, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, The Cars and Hall & Oates.

 Who would be part of a modern Live Aid (Earth Aid?, Planet Aid?) and what could they possibly sing? Let's start with a few of the musicians that should come back. If they songs seem to have a theme, that is very much intentional. 

Sade would help appeal to a world wide audience for this day of activism.
