Sir Bob Geldof falls asleep outside hotel after a VERY rock 'n' gig with the Boomtown Rats



Sir Bob Geldof may be the frontman of a band from the halycon days of British music, but he isn't as rock 'n' roll as he may appear.

The 62 year-old showed his age after being spotted sleeping outside the Malmaison Hotel in Glasgow, Scotland.



The charity campaigner had performed at the city's O2 Academy the night before as part of the Boomtown Rats reunion tour and was clearly left exhausted.

Sir Bob Geldof clearly doesn't like early mornings as he's woken up outside the Malmaison hotel by concerned guests in Glasgow

Waiting for his car to take him to Newcastle, where the band next performed, he sat on the steps of the hotel and slept until a concerned passer-by woke him up.

Disturbed, he got up from his spot and collected his belongings. Shortly after he was whisked away in the comfort of his own private vehicle.

Wearing skinny jeans with a brown overcoat and pink scarf, he was certainly dressed for the weather and looked every inch the indie star.

But he hasn't always just been an entertainer.



Several years ago he became a men's rights activist after being forced to fight Paula Yates and the British legal system for access to his children.



Speaking to the Mail recently, the Live Aid singer confessed that he faced epic legal bills and unparalleled personal stress while trying to secure joint custody for daughters Peaches, Pixie and Fifi.



‘I lost an awful lot,’ he said. ‘I had to borrow money - but nothing was going to stop me. In the end I was fortunate that my circumstances changed naturally, but it could’ve been very different.



'Men all over the world spend thousands of pounds for court orders that aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. The law needs to change. It's sexist.’

Currently, men are frequently denied access to their children by secretive family law courts which favour women - an issue of discrimination which has finally been raised thanks to Fathers 4 Justice.



But, despite his passion for the cause, the star doesn’t always agree with the group's activism which has seen members deface art in the name of protest.



‘I don’t agree with that because art should be sacred,’ he added. ‘I prefer it when they’re boxing clever and dressing up as superheroes.



'To kids, that’s exactly what dads are.’
