Bob Geldof kicks off his chat with Dermot & Dave by apologising for his bunged-up voice, jokingly claiming he's caught the coronavirus from his cat.

Geldof is back with the Boomtown Rats with a brand new studio album 'Citizens of Boomtown Rats'.

They've just released their first new track from the album, 'Trash Glam Baby' and Geldof was in rare form, chatting to the lads about how he now sings some of his biggest songs to new audiences but the messages are still as valid today as they were back in the late 70s.

He also relived his short-lived career as a would-be astronaut and gave his thoughts on the pop music scene in 2020.

Catch Dermot & Dave weekdays from 9am on Today FM.
