Determined Bono Says Nothing Will Stop U2 From Performing in Paris
- 8 years ago
Bono is determined to move forward with U2's concert in Paris next week and has high hopes that the performance will inspire the audience, the Associated Press reports.
"Well, knowing our French audience and having a sense of them by now, I would say joy as an act of defiance," Bono, 55, said about his expectations for the concert.
"That's what U2 does, that's what French people want from us and that's it."
U2 was originally schedule to perform in Paris on Nov. 14, just one day after the tragic terror attacks that left 130 dead.
Understandably, the band postponed their performance to a later date now scheduled for Dec. 6 and 7.
"They took a lot of lives we're not going to get back, but they're not going to change the character of the city of Paris," Bono told AP.
