The proceeds of the sale of this work raised more than £250,000 for the poorest people of Africa following the legendary international Live Aid broadcast. (Live Aid was held on 13 July 1985, held simultaneously in Wembley Stadium in London, England, and the John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, United States. It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time: an estimated global audience of 1.9 billion, across 150 nations, watched the live broadcast in London, in Philadelphia, and around the world. Even though artists like Bono and U2, Crosby, Stills & Nash, and the Who performed, Live Aid is remembered today as the event where Freddy Mercury and Queen absolutely stole the show!)
