He joined the Irish rockers, who won Best Live Act, for their hit Sunday, Bloody Sunday.

For the second year running, the ceremony was hosted by singer Katy Perry, who set the tone for the evening by asking the crowd: "Are you feeling sexy, Berlin?"
Perry, who is dating British comedian Russell Brand, managed seven costumes changes throughout the night, and performed a medley of the five best song contenders, including Halo and and Kings of Leon's Use Somebody.
