 Manhattan street renamed in honour of U2
U2 is performing all week on 'The Late Show with David Letterman' to celebrate the release of their new album "No Line on the Horizon" in New York. The mayor of the city, Michael Bloomberg, has temporarily renamed a Manhattan street in the band's honour.
According to a report the section of the city's West 53rd Street, where Letterman's programme is recorded, has been renamed U2 way.
U2 singer Bono told reporters, "The Beatles had 'Penny Lane', Elvis lived on the end of 'Lonely Street'. We're here somewhere between 10th Avenue and funky, funky Broadway, somewhere south of Duke Ellington Way and north of Joey Ramone Place we find ourselves, where the streets have no name".
Mayor Bloomberg said, "It's a beautiful day in New York, to quote a famous Irish rock band".
Each member of the band received his own version of the street sign "U2 Way," which Bono jokingly said marked the first time guitarist the Edge was able to hold a street sign without being arrested for it.
U2's 11th full studio album, 'No Line on the Horizon', was released on Tuesday in the US.
