And on the stage built on the water, no wires, monitors, and other incidental equipment. U2 never cease to amaze: the picture was literally a postcard. However, to report that this performance U2 has recorded in advance.
Paid much attention to Sting, who has long been a neglected Grammy. He now actively advertises his new album, recorded together with the contractor danchall Shaggy.

Then with the song “Praying” was made by the singer Kesha, one of the few on stage who have something to say on the subject: it was really loud trial with producer Dr. Luke, blossom hands. The song is just this story is dedicated to: Kesha talks in it about how the producer almost brought her to suicide. However, Dr. Luke is still in the saddle: producing Azelia banks and ne-yo.
