U2 frontman Bono paid tribute to Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny during the band’s concert in Las Vegas.
The 60-year-old urged the Las Vegas Sphere crowd to join him in chanting Navalny’s name on Saturday (17 February), following his death.
The 47-year-old, a fierce critic of Russian president Vladimir Putin, died in a Siberian prison after falling unwell last week, Russian prison authorities said.
Addressing concert-goers on Saturday, Bono said: “Apparently Putin would never, ever say his name. So I thought tonight, the people who believe in freedom must say his name. Not just remember it, but say it.”
