President Michael D Higgins, Van Morrison, Ringo Starr, U2, and Sting were among those who paid tribute to Bob Geldof on his 70th birthday on a Late Late Show special dedicated to the singer on Friday night.

A gob-smacked Geldof was taken by surprise on the show when he realised he wasn't just in studio to perform some songs and was instead greeted by members of his family, including daughters Pixie and Tiger, his sister Lynn, and his wife, French actress Jeanne Marine, alongside guests Midge Ure, Imelda May, and Andrea Corr, and many of his friends in the audience.

President Higgins sent his birthday greetings in a letter, which Ryan read out. "I’m delighted to send my best wishes to Bob Geldof on a milestone birthday," the President said. "Bob has left a deep imprint on Ireland in his musical voyage. Pointing to the numerous pictures of her husband at various stages of his career which adorned Studio 4 in RTÉ, Jeanne Marine said, "I am amazed at how sexy and beautiful all these pictures are and I have to say the version of 70 is not too bad at all."— The Late Late Show October 1, 2021 Midge Ure, who befriended Bob in the late seventies when he was in The Rich Kids and Geldof was starting out in the Rats, said of his friend, "It was a match made in heaven. I get goofy Bob.

"Now this is from a guy who was seen as a leader and a spokesman for youth, as a quasi-politician, one of the most famous people in the world and all he wanted to do was go out and perform." Zig and Zag giving us one of the best Bob Geldof's impressions we’ve ever heard 😂👏#LateLate pic.twitter.com/Z71XwgAf5t

Yeah.. I’d say it was a complete surprise 🙄

I normally avoid the Late Late Show like the plague. But this time ..... I made no exception. 😎

Fair play to all the good work, lives saved and deft cancelled, but I would rate him if he had turned up dressed like this...

It was a bit strange watching St Bob pretending to be surprised.

Do people still watch the late late show.

By the way they were dressed, did your one from the coors, and amelda may think that he died?

How many RTELateLateShow have been tributes to women? how many have been tributes to men?

West Brit hypocrite who has spent a lifetime slating his country of birth while having a love in with the English establishment & all they stand for.

thepainterflynn Bob was always still is a pain to listen to, quite boring and drones on

Cringe

The boomtown rats were always shit. I knew they were shit in the 70s/80s and they're even shittier now.

Honoring a Brit. His head is going to be more swelled then it is already.

🤮

N.o.t. N.e.W.s.

The bad language in a posh Dublin accent was needless, but Bob will get away with it as he's a Sir, if it was anyone else there would be apologies from RTE and I found his condescending of Ireland today to be just that.

Didn’t he do well out of Live Aid. Millionaire afterwards.

Dont forget the 'Sir'

4 groups of people claming to love a fellow so called irish man who accepteda knighthood from a government that killed millions in Ireland plus none of them pay taxes in their own countries carry on one show pandering to gob shites

Birthday surprise? It has been touted in the press for days.

The late late is an absolute shambles and Tuberity the worst presenter I've ever seen. Flicking through channels and Tony fucking Blair a man who caused poverty and devastation throughout the middle East on praising him for his work fighting poverty. You excelled yourselves 😂👏

€2 per text

Did 'Sir' Bob get a message from his Queen? I don't mean LeoTheLiar though Robert does praise hated Irish Establishment from abroad. Did Boner make a speech for his alike Bob? Mehole D 🙄 The Bloody Establishment were there! Naive Irish people think Bob is a hero! 😂

We need your money,, Bob Geldof at live aid, I'd like to ask Mr Geldof how much of is own money he gave.

Walking bollix...just saying ...

F*** you pay your taxes to Ireland

He was never afraid to stand up against the bigoted and criminal provos. He campaigned against Brexit and did much against famine. Happy birthday Bob

All the songs where we'll rehearsed

Happy birthday

Bob letting on 2b surprised was class....fake as fuk

Makes me sick 🤮too stomach that this filth make RTE on a Friday nite or any time 🤢🤮

He is for nothing poor judgement president
