The 68-year-old rocker has revealed he sent the deceased rats to DJs in the US as part of a bizarre publicity stunt to try and get his band, the Boomtown Rats, noticed in the US music scene.

He explained: Bob didn't mention exactly when the incident happened, but the group, and had a string of hits between 1977 and 1985.

He said: Bob sent the packages so they would arrive at radio stations on a Monday, giving the DJs a bizarre start to their week.
