“It only took me 30 years to learn how to sing these songs and it’s great to be able to say that I finally reached the band,” vocalist Bono said in a statement on the band’s website. “Our audience has given Joshua Tree a new life on this tour. Doing these shows has been very special for us, especially for revealing that some of the songs are current to this day,” he added.
