When U2 kick off a tour, it is usually big news. However, the kickoff of their 360° Tour in Barcelona this week was completely overshadowed by Michael Jackson’s death. Since U2 hasn’t been relevant in years, this probably shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise.
U2 certainly didn’t want to let their lack of relevance or Michael Jackson overshadow their big night. In a great tribute (or desperate move depending on the way you look at it), U2 turned their song “Angel of Harlem” into a Michael Jackson tribute. You can see the video below:
