“We sing for them, our people, the music people,” said the 22-time Grammy winner, who has been an activist for decades. He then sang a line dedicated to the victims: “Early in the morning, October 7/The sun rises in the desert sky/Star of David, they took your life/They couldn’t take your pride.” The original verse refers to the assassination of Martin Luther King in Memphis on April 4, 1968.
Bono wasn’t the only celebrity to comment on the Hamas attack on Israel. Madonna posted a video on Instagram showing footage of Hamas violence. The famous singer wrote, among other things: “My heart is in Israel. To the families and homes that have been destroyed. To the lost children. To the innocent victims who have been killed.”
