U2 frontman Bono and guitarist The Edge performed a pair of songs for Irish television’s The Late Late Show. The duo played their song “Walk On” and the Darlene Love holiday classic “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).”
“Walk On” is off U2’s 2000 album, All That You Can’t Leave Behind. For “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard, Phillip Powell, violinist Vivienne Long, the Heyday Choir and more joined the U2 duo, as per Rolling Stone. RS also reported that Bono and The Edge’s annual Christmastime busking gig in Dublin to aid the homeless inspired the in-studio performance.
