'80s Rock Icon Bono Cringes at Career-Defining Live Aid Moment: 'I Can't Look Back' originally appeared on Parade. U2 frontman Bono, born Paul Hewson, is proving that even rockers can have bad hair days. Twenty-five years after performing at Live Aid, Bono still finds it hard to look back on footage from the historic day—and he blames it on his hair. In the new documentary Live Aid: When Rock 'n' Roll Took on the World, which debuts on CNN on July 13 and premiered on the BBC on July 6, the iconic rocker and philanthropist reveals that reflecting on the legendary concert means confronting his regrettable the documentary, Bono said, 'I can't look back at this moment with two eyes because it was such a bad hair day … honestly, one of the most famous moments of your life and your activism, you've got a mullet.' Live Aid, which took place 40 years ago today on July 13, 1985, was broadcast to 150 nations, with over 2 billion viewers watching worldwide. The show—featuring Freddie Mercury's iconic performance of 'Radio Ga Ga' with Queen and a spicy duet from Tina Turner and Mick Jagger—was held simultaneously at London's Wembley Stadium and Philadelphia's John F. Kennedy Stadium.U2's Live Aid performance helped propel the band to international stardom. The group's image as Irish rebels was only amplified by Bono's '80s mullet, which was seen at the time as a symbol of rebellion. Now, at 65, the rocker begs to differ. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 '80s Rock Icon Bono Cringes at Career-Defining Live Aid Moment: 'I Can't Look Back' first appeared on Parade on Jul 13, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 13, 2025, where it first appeared.

Mariah Carey's Christmas Classic Becomes A Bestseller Again — In July

Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' unexpectedly reenters two U.K. charts in July, ... More proving the song's evergreen popularity.

(Photo by Christopher Polk/Variety via Getty Images) Mariah Carey's return to the top of charts around the world with 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' is expected every year. At this point, the tune is one of the most successful songs of all time and an annual favorite among countless millions who buy and stream it endlessly in December. While that composition's seasonal resurgence is anticipated every year, it's unusual to see it take place in the middle of summer, but that's exactly what has happened in the United Kingdom this week. 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' Rebounds Onto the Charts 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' returns to several rankings in the U.K. this frame. Carey's classic reenters the Official Vinyl Singles tally at No. 17 while breaking back in at No. 21 on the Official Physical Singles roster. The fact that a holiday single lives inside the top 40 on two sales charts in the middle of July speaks to Carey's popularity and the undying love that people have for 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' — and their willingness to purchase it on a physical format (especially vinyl) anytime it's available. 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' Has Hit No. 1 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' has spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Official Physical Singles chart throughout its lifetime. The track reached the top position early in 2020 as the 2019 holiday season was coming to an end. It then returned to the summit last December. The same cut has yet to rule the Official Vinyl Singles tally, but it's come very close. 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' peaked at No. 2 in December 2024, when it returned to that list for the first time in well over a year. Mariah Carey's Odd Journey on the Charts in 2025 The song has spent much of 2025 falling off both the Official Physical Singles and Official Vinyl Singles charts, only to return after a short break. The tune has already spent nearly 20 weeks on the physical ranking, and it's nearing double-digit frames on the vinyl-only list in this year alone. The cut could continue this on-again, off-again relationship with the sales tallies, or it may soon disappear — but it's all but guaranteed to mount yet another comeback when Christmastime rolls around again, as the public just can't seem to get enough of what has turned out to be the biggest hit in Carey's celebrated catalog.
