NEW YORK (AP) β Bruce Springsteen and Coldplay’s Chris Martin will act as Bono at a concert Monday night in New York City.
U2 announced on its website that the singers will perform in Times Square alongside Kanye West and Carrie Underwood for “U2 Minus 1 β Live in New York Tonight.”
The concert benefits World AIDS Day, which is Monday.
Bono was injured in a bike accident in Central Park last month. Adam Clayton, The Edge and Larry Mullen Jr. will perform Monday.
“This year is a World AIDS Day like no other,” Bono said in a statement. “The world reached a tipping point in the fight against AIDS.”
U2’s website says Springsteen and Martin “graciously donated their time and talents to save the World AIDS Day event from cancellation.”
