U2 Kicks Off World Tour, Pays Tribute To Michael Jackson

In a stadium filled with 90,000 people, U2 kicked off their epic world tour in Barcelona, Spain, last night.

As a tribute to Michael Jackson, Bono dedicated the band's beautiful song Angel of Harlem to the man he called, "a great talent." Towards the end of the performance, excerpts from Jackson's Man in the Mirror and Don't Stop Till You Get Enough, were sung by Bono in the King of Pop's falsetto voice.

Watch the video above to enjoy the very special tribute.

Perez, you shouldn't write about Michael Jackson until you apologize for accusing him of faking his death in the first place. Take responsibility for what you've said.

Fucktard : Angles of Harlem is NOT a fucking U2 song.. it was written before you were born for the one and only Billie Holliday.Jeez what a moron you are.You do not deserve this site. Full of lies and ignorance
