Lady Gaga has made a surprise appearance with U2, joining them at the Las Vegas Sphere to perform a rendition of ‘Shallow’.The moment took place during their show at the new $2billion venue last tonight (October 25), when the Irish rock veterans played the latest of their ongoing residency shows in Las Vegas.After performing their 1991 track ‘Tryin’ to Throw Your Arms Around the World’, the band were then joined on stage by Lady Gaga, who joined them for a rendition of ‘All I Want Is You’, taken from their 1998 album ‘Rattle and Hum’.The highlight of the evening came after, however, as the singer – wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses – performed an amped-up version of her song ‘Shallow’.Written for the 2019 film A Star Is Born, the original track is performed by Gaga and her co-star in the film, Bradley Cooper. It later went on to win an Oscar for Best Original Song at the 2019 awards.For last night’s version, however, the singer made the emotive track more upbeat, and Bono contributed vocals.
U2 Honors Israel Attack Victims, Alters “Pride” Lyrics During Vegas Sphere Show: “Those Beautiful Kids At That Music Festival”
09.10.2023 - 20:13 / deadline.com
While U2‘s series of shows at The Sphere in Las Vegas has thusfar been notable for the brilliant display of technology that the building allows, the band this weekend took a beat to remind those in attendance of the power of music — and human connection.
With the screen around him black, Bono mentioned the violence over the weekend in the Middle East, focusing specifically on the hundreds of kids who were killed or kidnapped at the Nova music festival in the desert, calling them “our kind of people, music people. Playful.”
He continued: “In the light of what’s happened in Israel and Gaza, a song about non-violence seems somewhat ridiculous, even laughable, but our prayers have always been for peace and for non-violence… But our hearts and our anger, you know where that’s pointed. So sing with us… and those beautiful kids at that music festival…”
Guitarist the Edge then softly moved into the opening strains of the band’s soaring song about the life and death of Martin Luther King, “Pride: In the Name of Love.” The audience was right there with them, singing the backing vocals before Bono began the opening lines.
When he did begin, the singer changed the song’s elegiac opening marking the date MLK was shot to the date of the festival assault.
“Early morning, October 7th,” he sang. “The sun is rising in the desert sky / Stars of David, they took your life / But they could not take your pride.”
Watch below.
