Irish rock group U2 wanted to honor the memory of Alexeï Navalny, who died on February 16 in prison. “Next week, it will be two years since Putin invaded Ukraine,” declared singer Bono from the Sphere in Las Vegas, where he has been in residence since last September.

Last October, the group paid tribute to Israeli festival-goers killed in the Hamas attack during a rave party by dedicating the song “Pride (In The Name of Love)” to them.
