Bono has announced on U2’s official Instagram channel that he has penned a song inspired by the people of Italy currently on lockdown due to the coronavirus.
“For the Italians who inspired it,” he wrote, “for the Irish… for ANYONE who this St Patrick’s day is in a tight spot and still singing. For the doctors, nurses, carers on the frontline, it’s you we’re singing to.”
“A little postcard from Dublin,” he said before playing the ballad. “On this St. Patrick’s Day, a little tune made up here about an hour ago. I think it’s called ‘Let Your Love Be Known.’”
