Bono and his bandmate The Edge performed at a metro station in the Ukrainian capital and praised the country’s residents for standing up and ‘fighting for all’ after Russia’s shocking invasion.
U2 is showing their support for Ukraine with what they do best: performing music. Two members of the Irish rock band, including Bono and The Edge, surprised residents of Kyiv with a 40-minute performance at the Khreshchatyk metro station on May 8. Photos, which can be seen here, show the musicians smiling, playing guitar, and singing as they wore black outfits in front of the gathered crowd.
“Your president [Volodymyr Zelenskyy] leads the world in the cause of freedom right now … The people of Ukraine are not just fighting for your own freedom, you’re fighting for all of us who love freedom,” Bono told the crowd of about 100 locals inside the metro station, according to Reuters.
