Bob Geldof and friends have promised that each Live 8 concert will include a few "special surprise guests". Like, how special? Here are some of the rumors floating around, just to (maybe) ruin the surprise:
- NME reports that ex-Libertine, current Babyshambles frontman and Kate Moss arm-candy Pete Doherty will join Elton John onstage in London. "A friend of Pete's" says that it's up to the Live 8 organisers to confirm.
- The Sex Pistols will NOT reform for the London show, and John[ny] "Rotten" Lydon is offended at the mere suggestion: "if they’re gonna lie about the bands that are playing, how do we know the money is going where they say it is…”.
- Rumors are swirling that Green Day are going to travel from concert to concert on Saturday, but they've only been confirmed for the Berlin show.
- Will Michael Jackson appear in London, or possibly Philly? I say he try London first - maybe he and Madonna can try to recreate the magic of the 1991 Oscars.
More rumors as they filter in ...

lurking near the lost and found kids station at the Paris show.
