EURYTHMICS stars Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart reportedly snubbed the chance to perform at Live Aid, because they didn't think it would be a hit.

Lennox has since insisted she was too ill to perform at the transatlantic gigs in London and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1985 - which raised money for famine sufferers in Ethiopia.

But a source tells British newspaper the DAILY MAIL, "She and Dave Stewart didn't think it would be a success. When they saw how massive it was on television, they instantly regretted not being in it."
