U2 ROCKS
Quote: “Apparently, Putin would never ever say his name, so I thought, tonight, people who believe in freedom, we must say his name. Not just remember it, but say it.”

During the band’s cover of Crowded House’s “Don’t Dream It’s Over,” Bono led the audience in a chant of Navalny’s name and spoke about Ukraine’s fight against Putin’s invading forces. “To these people,” Bono said, “freedom is not just a word in a song. For these people, freedom is the most important word in the world.”
