Austereo were given a rock royalty serenade for their final radio program when U2’s Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr strolled on stage to sing a few songs in Melbourne yesterday afternoon.
The band, who started their 360 degree tour in Australia on Wednesday, surprised the crowd when they came on and sang the 1989 U2 hit ‘Desire’ followed by ‘Vertigo’.
Hamish Blake and Andy Lee announced they would not continue their weekday show on Austereo in 2011, opting for a Friday special instead.
U2 performed their second Australian show last night at Melbourne’s Etihad Stadium where they sang Happy Birthday to Jay-Z. The members of Blondie and The Pretenders were also at the show.
For last night’s show, they added ‘Stuck In A Moment’ and dedicated the song to Michael Hutchence. It was the first time they have played the song live in 2010.
U2’s next show will be December 8 in Brisbane. Check out all of their dates in the Undercover tour guide.
