U2’s Bono Leads Sphere Crowd In Chant Of Alexei Navalny’s Name
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was remembered by U2 at the Sphere.
In a long preamble to a cover rendition of Crowded House’s Don’t Dream It’s Over, Bono spoke of the struggle for freedom and the importance of standing up for it. The band said in a tweet that Ukraine’s President Zelensky “invited us to perform in Kyiv as a show of solidarity with the Ukrainian people, and so that’s what we’ve come to do.” The Irish Times reported performances of U2 hits With or Without You, Desire, Angel of Harlem, Vertigo and a rendition of Ben E. King’s Stand By Me that replaced the titular “Me” with “Ukraine.”
