Commuters passing through New York City's Grand Central Station yesterday witnessed a surprise performance by U2 for the band's upcoming appearance on The Tonight Show. Sporting disguises complete with wigs and bucket drums, the band performed near the shuttle stop before eventually revealing their true identity. The audience, which included Jimmy Fallon and celebrity chef Mario Batali, ended up joining in on a sing-a-long of the band's 1988 hit "Angles of Harlem" off their album Rattle and Hum.
The segment is expected to air on The Tonight Show on Friday night along with a recreation of Bono's November 2014 bike accident that left him severely injured and forced him to postpone his planned weeklong residency on Fallon's late night talk show. Bono reportedly is still having trouble playing the guitar five months after the crash.
However, his major injury is not yet interrupting U2's touring schedule. For now, the band is still planning to take on the iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour beginning May 14.
