In a posting on his site he said: "If all the technical bits and pieces are working properly then you should be able to hear a new song I've been working on."

"I wanted you to hear it now cos it's exactly one year since that Live 8 thing and it was the night of that event that I wrote this song."

"I apologise for all the swearing but sometimes that's the only thing that seems appropriate."

"It's in no way a criticism of Geldof and co. but I remember thinking at the time: "Where does engaging with these politicians/businessmen really get you?" - (12 months on and they still haven't paid up as far as I can make out) - maybe the problem is something more ..... fundamental."

"Anyway, what do I know? I'm just a pampered rock star - but at least I think it's good to discuss this stuff."
