U2 Share Acoustic “Sunday Bloody Sunday” 

Performance on 50th Anniversary of Massacre: Watch

U2 singer Bono and guitarist The Edge have released a new version of the band's 1983 classic Sunday Bloody Sunday. The acoustic performance was captured on film and uploaded to the band's Instagram account, with the message, "30 January 2022 - With love, Bono & Edge."

 

The date references the song's subject, the infamous Bloody Sunday massacre of 1972, when British soldiers opened fire on a group of unarmed protesters in the Bogside area of Derry, Northern Ireland. 26 civilians were shot during the incident, with 13 killed. A 14th died later in hospital.
