Springsteen Martin fill in at U2 AIDS show
(MENAFN- Arab News) NEW YORK: Bruce Springsteen and Coldplay's Chris Martin tried to replace Bono's legendary vocal cords Monday in a surprise U2 concert in New York to rally support for fighting AIDS.
U2 which has played only select shows since a 2009-2011 tour announced the free show in Times Square with several hours of notice to raise awareness and funding on World AIDS Day.
But with frontman Bono injured in a bicycle incident last month the Irish superstars offered the microphone to two of the rare vocalists who rival U2 in celebrity.
'Dreams come true for all old and young people alike' a humbled Coldplay frontman Martin said on the stage set up underneath Times Square's famous flashing screens on a rainy night.
Martin who has long cited U2 as an influence on his work joined The Edge and the rest of the band to perform 'With or Without You' and 'A Beautiful Day' staying faithful to Bono's lyrics and style while struggling to match his range.
