WATCH: Bono dedicates new song to Italians under coronavirus quarantine

MANILA, Philippines – As countries continue to fight the coronavirus, U2’s frontman Bono showed his support through the power of music. On Tuesday, March 17, the Irish singer released a new song called “Let Your Love Be Known,” inspired by the Italians who are under quarantine and medical teams who are on call to save lives.

“For the Italians who inspired it… for the Irish… for ANYONE who this St. Patrick’s Day is in a tight spot and still singing. For the doctors, nurses, carers on the front line, it’s you we’re singing to,” said the frontman on Instagram.
