Bono calls for a 'Europe of mercy' on stage at Belfast gig
U2 frontman Bono called for a merciful response to refugees as his band played their first gig since Friday’s terror attacks.
The Irish rock stars were among those to cancel high-profile gigs in the French capital following the terrorist attacks, which saw at least 129 killed and hundreds injured.
Guitarist Adam Clayton wore a Stiff Little Fingers T-shirt in tribute to the Northern Ireland outfit which refused to cancel a concert following the carnage.
Bono asked Belfast concertgoers whether they wanted “a Europe with its heart open or its borders closed to mercy”.
