Bono Wrote & Performed a New Song for Caregivers Helping Those Affected by the Coronavirus Pandemic

Musicians and creators are getting … well, creative when it comes to keeping music alive during the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Tours may be canceled, gatherings of people may be on hold while the entire planet copes with the harsh realities, but the music lives. And for St. Patrick’s Day on Tuesday, Bono performed a new song for the masses.

Bono”
