At their latest Las Vegas concert, Bono paid tribute to the ‘beautiful kids’ killed at an Israeli music festival. Hamas soldiers attacked the 3,500 festival-goers, killing over 260 young people.
‘But our hearts and our anger, you know where that’s pointed. So sing with us … and those beautiful kids at that music festival,’ Bono implored the crowd.
During the instrumental Bono added: ‘Sing for our brothers and sisters – who they themselves were singing at the Supernova Sukkot festival in Israel. ‘
‘We sing for those. Our people, our kind of people, music people. Playful, experimental people. Our kind of people. We sing for them.’
Bono next altered the lyrics as he sang: ‘Early morning, October 7, the sun is rising in the desert sky. Stars of David, they took your life but they could not take your pride.’
