THE EDGE STUNS GLASTONBURY CROWD WITH MUSE U2 TRIBUTE
U2’s Glastonbury dream was reignited on Saturday night (26Jun10) when THE EDGE joined British rockers MUSE onstage for a rendition of WHERE THE ST REETS HAVE NO NAME.
The Irish band was forced to scrap their Friday evening (25Jun10) appea rance at the U.K. music festival after frontman Bono was admitted to hosp ital for an operation on his back last month (May10).
Damon Albarn’s band Gorillaz stepped in to take their place, but U2’s p resence was still felt at the festival.
During their encore at the bash at Worthy Farm in Somerset, south-west England, Muse frontman Matt Bellamy announced a special guest, telling th e crowd, "This is our friend The Edge." The guitarist then took centre stage as the band performed U2’s 1987 tr ack Where The Streets Have No Name.
