London, Dec 1 (ANI): Singer Bono has teamed up with footie idol Didier Drogba to raise funds for fight against Aids.
The U2 frontman said he aims to “turn up the heat” on politicians over the HIV and Aids crisis in South Africa.
Chelsea striker Drogba declared that saving lives was more important to him than winning this season’s Premier League title.
Announcing a new deal between Nike and Red on the eve of World Aids Day, Bono said: “This is a very big day for everyone involved in the fight against Aids.”
The 49-year-old rocker and Aids campaigner insisted Red initiative was not just about raising funds.
“We wanted to create some heat on the issue,” the Daily Express quoted Bono as saying. (ANI)
