U2 made a surprise appearance at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in Los Angeles, opening Saturday’s show at the Peacock Theater with two songs, according to Billboard, Nieuws.nl reports.
The band played “Silencio”, the second single from its new album, “Carnaval De Luz”, followed by “Pride (In the Name of Love)”, a long-standing part of its live shows.
The album was released on Friday. It is U2’s 16th and its first collection of entirely new material since “Songs of Experience” in 2017. The record closes with “Torn”, a duet with Dolly Parton. Nieuws.nl says it was Parton’s final recorded vocal performance before her death in August, aged 80.
U2 was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005. This year’s ceremony honoured 18 acts, including Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Oasis, Sade, Wu-Tang Clan, Luther Vandross, Joy Division and New Order.
