Since his career as a successful musician, Bob Geldof has become widely known for his aid work, raising phenomenal amounts of money for victims of famine in Africa, and also increasing public awareness of their plight through Band Aid, Live Aid and most recently Live 8. In June 1986 he was awarded a knighthood in recognition of his work to relieve famine in Africa. He is also the author of his startling autobiography titled Is That It?
