 The No Jacket Required World Tour ended with Collins performing at both the Wembley Stadium and JFK Stadium Live Aid concerts . Collins claims that it all happened by accident , and that both he and Power Station were going to attend both Live Aid shows as well , but " they all chickened out . " " By default , I was the only one who did it , " he later claimed . Bob Geldof , the organiser of Live Aid , originally asked Collins to be part of Geldof 's first charity effort , Band Aid . Collins played the drums and performed backing vocals for Band Aid 's UK number one hit in 1984 , " Do They Know It 's Christmas ? " .
